My Spiraling Marriage
How Did You Meet?
We were paired up by mutual friends my junior year in high school.
Describe your marriage before the problem.
We were so together on everything I thought we would never have a problem we couldn't face together. We had our ups and downs, everyone said we were perfect together and had a perfect lil family.
Tell us how you first realized you had a problem.
My stbx stopped doing things for me the way she did in the first 8 or 9 years. Thought we were going though marriages normal cycles with the family and dismissed it.
What did you do about it or if you have not done anything yet, why?
Tried going to counseling, tried listening more and doing more for her... and more...and more... all while she gave less...and less... and less.
If you're not yet divorced, what is your greatest fear?
Stbx dragging me into bankruptcy, loosing the house our children call home, and her doing something drastic.
If you're not yet divorced, what two tips would you share with others?
Get a good lawyer (if there is such animal), try your best not to get caught up in bitterness and anger ( it works against you), and surround yourself with good friends who will help you through tough times (they'll provide sensible advice).
If your divorce is final, what was the hardest part of the divorce?
I'll get back to you...
