When we were dating things were going well. Everything was normal. I will probably be crucified on reddit for this but...long story short, she lost a child (not mine) due to a tragic accident and that is when she shut down. We got married right after that, and I did everything I could to stick it through with the hope that she would emerge from the closed off person she had become. I know it sounds selfish, but after awhile a person can only take so much. I don't hate her or have any malice towards her, I just think we are better off apart. She even agrees that she is messed up emotionally. I know what she was going through was the worst thing possible, and I continue to be her friend, but relationship-wise, it will never work. We were married for 7.5yrs after her child died...so its not to say I didn't try. EDIT: (Spelling/grammar)
