honestly, Altho I loved the idea of til death do us part, and one love forever and ever, maybe its just unrealistic... worked in romance novels, and old black and white movies.. but in real life, not so much

I think people tend to grow and change, not always together.. just a matter of deciding whether or not the changes can be accepted by one another.. I couldnt accept my STBX's and he couldnt accept mine. .. eventually it just imploded I guess

Unequal love, differing values and points of view. Maybe more importantly not truly understanding what we had and why it was worth saving.

I know one thing that was hard was my stbx being a obessed with working. He put his career and work ahead of the family. So it was hard to have him ever just be with us. I still remember him asking me if it was worth him being with us for how much he would get for a delivery. How do you ask someone that??? Anyway I felt second to schooling and work. So priorities.
