How Did You Meet?
We met through a friend.
Describe your marriage before the problem.
Typical. Both of us are driven, and our successes were plenty during first 10 yrs. Two beautiful children, and everything we could ever want.
Tell us how you first realized you had a problem.
Returned from work trip and had a tough first couple days (not out of ordinary). She basically said it was all but over. I was devestated.
What did you do about it or if you have not done anything yet, why?
Tried for 5 months to get her to agree to counseling but met only refusals and rationalizations on how our marriage and life was a not right for a long time.
If you're not yet divorced, what is your greatest fear?
How to be the best father I can be. How to teach my children about unconditional love, and make sure that someday they know I did everything I could to stop this from happening.
If you're not yet divorced, what two tips would you share with others?
Watch out for mid-life crisis, and crank-up the effort around that time.
