feel like giving up - pt 2

[crushed_v95]

It's eerie how similar our stories are luvless. You're a few years older than we.

I often wonder why they still do this crap, and in fact that was the tone of my first confrontation with my own wife last October.

"You are FORTY YEARS OLD and MARRIED, and you're still acting like a teenager, chasing men at the bar... grow up!"

I always thought she'd settle down long before she reached this point, but she's just putting the pedal down and going as fast as can be. Do you find that's the case in your marriage also?

As someone else pointed out, divorce shouldn't be about emotion. I don't want to look back and find myself motivated by anger or hopelessness or revenge when I contemplate my divorce. I want to be calm and assured and know it's really what I want. I expect to get there soon, but I'm not there yet. I also want to know that I gave her every chance, and I think I can say this already.
