My husband and I have been together since I was 18, him 21. Now 24/27. Things have been rough since the beginning but were slowly starting to improve, until imploding. The only main issue is poor communication, and the fact that we've involved a lot of outside parties in the relationship during fights, including a time where he was arrested as a result.

He moved out a month ago and told me he wanted a divorce. I've ordered the DB book but I don't have a lot of hope left. I had to send him my notarized copy of the divorce agreement yesterday. I apologized yesterday for being so angry about his decision. Today he sent me this, and I have no idea how to respond. I think he's already gone.


"I'm sorry for everything and I wish very badly it went any other way, or that we actually paid attention and addressed it sooner. But it just got so far from what either of us wanted that we dragged so many people around us into it. On the bright side we are still both amazing people and nobody can take that from us and we definitely put in more effort than anyone our age that I've ever met. I will let you know what's going on with [filing for divorce] when the time comes."
