I Am Getting a Divorce

I am divorced. It took me a while to figure out, but I never loved my husband. I thought I did, I convinced myself I did, but I never did, and I dont think he loved me either. We both settled, and then treated eachother like garbage. I only figured that out when I stumbled upon what it was really supposed to be like... and he still wont admit it, but I dont want to live my life married to the wrong person.
You had the courage to leave an unhappy marriage. Imagine how many remain unhappily until one of them dies. You found something real. There is more sadness in your story than we realize. Would it help you to share this?

@PoetryNEmotion just, realizing that I fell in love with someone else... and learning that I never felt that way for my spouse, and I should have at some point... but I never did... but also, not being able to be with the one I want. I cant live in a lie... I know a lot of people do, probably because they are afraid, feel guilty, or have no back up plan...
@Sarob You are honest with yourself. Courageous. Is he married? I must sleep. Let's continue this soon. Just be kind to you. Good night. One day, one night at a time.
Now that it's no longer a serious consideration for me, I have arrived at a decision.

The only reason ever to marry is when, after significant experience with the intended, NOT marrying is unthinkable.
How and why did you settle? What were the things you have to settle for?

@Loomingtrees I guess I just thought it was as good as it ever could be

Me too.


I respect her.

But I don’t want to build a family with her.
I am so sorry to hear about it
