    Trying to be friends but need perspective!

    I got divorced six months ago. Things had been snowballing for a few years and everything hit the fan when my ex husband had an emotional affair and he made it clear that it was my fault and it meant nothing. I wanted to get counseling and work together, but he was done. We decided to file...

    Divorcing a Narcissist

    I'm currently waiting for the judge to sign the divorce agreement my husband and I agreed to. I'm doing my best to lean on God through my divorce, but it's very difficult...I feel anger, sadness, loss, etc. I know it takes two to tango in a marriage and my actions played a role in the...

    Divorced and reconciling?

    I'm sorry you are going through this. It sounds like you are doing the best you can and getting your own life together. God asks us to love our neighbors, but we also need to love ourselves. Focus on you, your own life and your relationship with God. You are not responsible for your...

    Coping with Separation

    My husband and I decided to separate and move toward a divorce. He continues to communicate with the young woman he is friends with because he assures me that this is nothing. We tried and tried to get along and make things work but we were bringing out the worst in each other. He refused to...

    Coping with Separation

    My husband and I separated a few days ago. For financial reasons, we are still living in the same home. Yesterday, the topic of divorce came up. We went back and forth about a dozen times. We even went as far as discussing finances and I went ahead and starting looking for rentals and a...

    Husband's Friendship with Younger Female

    I spoke with him and he did admit that his first interactions with the younger woman were inappropriate and involved some flirting and talking about how difficult I was to be with. I appreciated his recognition of that. However, he still wants to maintain a friendship with her. I do...

    Husband's Friendship with Younger Female

    A few months ago, I discovered that my husband's friendship with a younger female (he's 42, I'm 42, she's 23) had gone too far in my mind. He was texting her somewhat flirtatiously, meeting at the gym, going out for beers and talking negatively about me without telling me. I suspected something...

    Controlling Behavior

    My husband and I have been married for 15 years. When we met each other, we had a lot of shared interests. We were runners and outdoor enthusiasts. I have struggled with anorexia for over 30 years. Something I will always struggle with, but though I struggle with food, I am able to manage a...
