I've been living seperated from my husband for almost a year now and I have to say that I moved on.My husband on the other hand hasn't.I'm ready to get divorced for the fact that I have met someone that I really care about and I would like to leave all my old attachments behind.I just don't know how to ask him for the divorce and not hurt his feelings....I know it's not gonna be easy either way....but I was hoping that someone may have some suggestions on how to do this tactfully.
I have read some other post on different subjects and I know that some of you give really good answers.....so would you please help me on this one?

I think u should tell him that since u both are living away and you don't want him to keep suffering just because of you, as u don't have the same feelings for him .. or whatever the other reasons are !! .. that's why u r planning to have a divorse .. so that u both can move on.... and he too can find someone special for himself.
Good Luck

Divorce and pain (hurt) always go together, either before or after the divorce, pain will always be there. This is something we just can not avoid. If you have already decided then go ask him and get it over with. I personally doubt whether the reasons you cited are grounds sufficient enough for a divorce i. e. meeting someone new. We can never sugar coat the bitter pill of divorce. Face the issue squarely, feel the pain and get it over with then leave the past behind.

Hi Winky73, I don't think there is an easy way to ask for a divorce, if he's still in love with you you're going to hurt his feelings regardless of how tactful you are. The best way is to be as honest as you can without going into the explicit details of this other relationship. Whatever you decide good luck to you!
