The flame is flickering out...

[Nutty Chick]

All along I felt like I had been treated very badly by my wife but even still wanted to reconcile because my view of divorce always was that it was horrible, for the kids, for the couple, even for extended famil and friends. I hate it. So I was always willing to do the work to avoid it. But she wasn't. She wouldn't work.

So your motive for saving the marriage was to avoid the unpleasant feelings you associated with divorce for you and your family?

Nutty.
