Good Riddance 2017

[Dawn70]

My XH wanted me to tell everyone that our divorce was a mutual decision. It was not. I just came home from work one day and he told me in no uncertain terms he was done. Now, there was no abuse...I will say that. He never raised a hand to me nor did he ever emotionally or verbally abuse me. Never one time. But, what I didn't know at the time that he told me he wanted out was that there was another woman, so he'd cheated and I just didn't know it til later.

I totally agree that I am pretty unsure of the number of actual mutual divorces. I would bet that, more often than not, one party or the other wants out then kind of wears the other partner down til they accept it, or as in my case, he just made up his mind and was going regardless of what I said or did. So, I didn't fight....I just let go. I think it was selfish and I think he was cold for doing it, but honestly, it helped me detach. I still get a flash of anger on occasion about the fact that he was able to just walk away like he did, but ultimately, I know that he truly did me a favor, because my life has been better in the last 3 years since he walked away than it was since before I met him....if that makes sense.
