A week ago, this 31-year-old woman asked her 37-year-old husband for a divorce. She spent years being miserable in her marriage, and she and her husband have been going to therapy together for one year so far, with no real change or improvement.
She pleaded with her husband to change his behavior and fix how dependent he is upon her, but he never listened.
During one therapy session, she had an absolute breakdown and mentioned she was at the end of her rope, as their issues appeared to be things they could never solve.
Her husband replied that he felt as if she was ganging up on him with their therapist since she has problems too.
So, she finally gathered up the courage to tell her husband that she wants a divorce, and it wasn’t an easy thing for her to ask for.
In fact, this is the most difficult thing she’s ever done.
“The next time we met, he had prepared a letter taking responsibility for all I had been hoping we could fix,” she explained.
“At the time, hearing him read it, it was devastating. And I realized that it took me blowing up our lives for him to finally realize what I had been begging him to realize for over a year.”
“I said that it did not change anything, and since then, he has been begging for just one more chance to fix things and be better.”
