In the grand scheme of things, I don't think that is much to ask.
I know that there are certain judges in El Paso who now require marital counseling before a divorce, but most of the time that is when the couple shares children. I think that it SHOULD be mandatory for couples with children, but also with couples where there are stepchildren. I don't know that the XH and I could have benefited from that, but the thing was that we willingly went through marital counseling, and came to the realization that it wasn't going to work. We separated and divorce amicably with the agreement that we would never put the children in the middle. That is an agreement we have managed to keep, although we don't always see eye to eye.
However, it is just so easy for your spouse to look at you, say oh you are flawed I cant live with you, and walk away. Well H E DOUBLE TOOTHPICKS DO YOU THINK YOU ARE PERFECT??? ?
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
