I Am Getting a Divorce

My spouse and I are amicably parting. It's hard because neither of us expected us to get here. We make good friends, but we are not good marital partners. Someday, we hope we can be each other's "best person" at the other's wedding. We love each other deeply as friends. But, we cannot make it work anymore as husband and wife. No regrets though.

Wow, that sounds awfully...nice of both of you. How are you staying friends?

@CoffeeFirst We are taking it slowly and figuring out what each other needs along the way. We are friends first. We are initially keeping family in the dark so as to keep drama, insanity, hard feelings and division out. I honestly told her I don't care what she wants that is mine. It's hard still, but we are trying to be sensitive to each other's feelings.

@NewMan2015 It sounds like it is hard for both of you but you are doing the best you can. Good job for being so sensitive. And I think it's a super idea to keep family in the dark for a while!!
