I very sorry to hear about your situation, but it’s not over yet. Our DR book says to never give up!
The suggestions I’m about to give is coming out of my own playbook in the event my marriage ends, so please take it with a grain of salt. There’s probably nothing you’re going to be able to say or do to change your husband’s mind at this time, so be agreeable to the divorce. Tell him it’s a good idea and long overdue. Wish him all the best. Be nice. Be confident.
Focus intense energy on yourself. .. improve yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually. Let your husband go…set him free…if he loves you he’ll return. Start spending a lot time with family and friends. Become the person you always wanted to be. Start to meet new people, whether it’s through hobbies, church, etc…you just never know when or where you’re going to meet Mr. Right. Begin to reconstruct your life. I know…easier said than done…but you have no other choice. You can do it! And you never know…all of this just might draw your husband back to you. Never say never!
God gives us exceedingly abundantly more than we can ever need…you’re going to be just fine. Quite possibly, this all may be a blessing in disguise for you. A good friend of mine divorced about 15 years ago (w/ two daughters). He thought his life was surely over; however, he has since met the “love of his life” and can’t be happier. Life is a journey, not a destination…be hopeful.
God Bless, LFH
