Yes, you are right. He feels pressure to be out of the marriage. So you will need to proceed in a way that protects yourself. His life is filled with such emptiness he needs to move on to see if he can be happier outside of the marriage and perhaps save you any more pain in his twisted version of things. Divorce does not mean the be all end all. My mother and father are not married but they are still family and they still love each other, and as gross as it sounds, I think they still fool around and I am just in denial about it! But the point is, you and H will always be a family so be as positive as possible. You know, Morgan, you know he is making a mistake but it is his mistake to make at this point. Ughhhh. You did the right thing. Your email was the right thing. Plus, you don't have to be strong at this point. You just have to stay foucused and positve. Think, "I do not want a divorce, but I have faith that you will do what is best for our family." remember sometimes people need to go throughthe full process of a divorce to start over in a blank slate. That has happened to two of my best friends' families. Neither one of you has burned any bridges.
