How do you feel about divorce? Were there kids involved? DId you do everything in your power to make it easy on the children? WHY did you get divorced? Did you do everything in your power to make the marriage work?

My husband and I are separated right now but am trying to work things out and fix the problems that we had. I told him that I married him for a lifetime, not just a few years and I was willing to do what it took to try to fix things!

I feel that divorce should be a last resort. I did do everything to try to avoid that but my spouse didn't want to try. No children were involved in this divorce so that was one less thing to worry about. I got divorced because my spouse became overly controlling as to who I could be friends with, what I could wear, calling me if he thought I was gone grocery shopping longer than he thought it should take with "where are you, who are you with" type of questions. I never did that to him.
