Hello All ~ I've been married for 24 years and on November 20th, my husband packed up all his belongings and moved out. He left me a note on the kitchen table, along with his key and garage door opener. His reasons were that he felt out lives were going in two different directions, I wouldn't let him smoke in the house. But the big one was he was of a different religion (one that he wasn't practicing), and he feels he can't go to heaven if he's married to me. I do practice my faith, but he doesn't believe we can be compatible. Says he still loves me, but thinks the divorce is 'necessary'. I did NOT see this coming, I thought we were on our way to being ok. In fact, we had a very sweet week before he left. the last thing I did was to kiss him goodbye that morning, tell him I loved him, and that I'd see him after I got off work. We took a cruise with friends in Oct, and had a great time.
I don't want this divorce, but am beginning to lose hope. I could use any advice, and I'm just devastated. Thanks,
