My emotional state at the end of my first (27 years) marriage was more about a shattered dream than anything else. The realization is like waking up in a strange land, and not knowing anything about where you are or how to navigate. I think it's a lot like that for many couples. The pain was excruciating, the confusion overwhelming.
Prior to our actual physical separation, I began to realize that the marriage wasn't going to work for either of us, and that there was just too much water over the dam. Counseling only emphasized how much we were on different pages, which may not have been such a bad thing, after all.
My fault? Her fault? Ultimately, it didn't matter.
We had to move on, no matter how difficult. Delaying the inevitable any more than we already had would have been even more stupid.You and your soon-to-be-ex will each be better off without each other, so please try not to backpedal.
