- So the husband comes by to talk about his schedule through January. I asked him about the divorce process and he says he has not talked to a lawyer yet. I told him that it would be less expensive if I just hired a lawyer and he agree to the...
- So I had lunch with a friend and I was finally able to tell someone we were getting divorced without falling apart or tears in my eyes. I just told my friend the situation and was able to discuss it logically. I hope this means I have moved on...

- Although my husband is still living at home I have been trying to be independent and doing everything he used to do like take out the trash and shoveling snow. I am just exhausted at this point. I don't know if I can do this on my own with the 2...

- I was actually having a good couple days but today I am down again. What if my husband decides he wants custody of the kids and takes everything from me? The kids adore him because he is the fun parent - never yells or disciples and lets them...
- So I read all about discernment counseling online as an approach to decide whether to divorce or reconcile or stay the same. Has anyone tried it? I talked to a therapist who specializes in this type of counseling this morning. Now my husband...
- So I pay for everything since I make way more than my husband. He had stopped contributing financially few years ago so he could save up and open his studio. Since he told me he wants to separate but has not made any plans to move out should I...
