I always get the statement that it isn't good for the kids to have their parents married if they don't love each other. My W is one of those people that has never really had a long term relationship because she "falls out of love" and thinks that relationships should be easy and always have the "in love" feeling.
My W's parents hated each other, but they never divorced because they couldn't afford it. So my W said she wants a D because she doesn't have those "feelings" for me anymore.

She said she's had doubts since six months. I told her so did I, that was the honeymoon period.

My W has only had two serious relationships. Me and someone back in her early 20s and she only lasted three months.

Basically, she's so introverted and hard to get to know that all the guys she dated stuck around until they got what they wanted and then moved on.

So for a long, long, long time in our marriage she had this fear I'd leave her.

Knowing all of this makes it hard for me to cut the cord and file because deep down I believe she'll realize I was the only willing to dig deep enough to stay with her.

But I don't know if I have the patience it'll take.


Me: 47, Ds 17-13, D final 6-11
