Roses - Thank you for the woman's POV. After 5 months of agonizing divorce lawyers etc - we went mediation route and a 12 month legal separation, signed last week. During this process I have learned a great deal about myself and have continually tried to tell my Ex how much I love her... But she have been an Express Train to a new life - never looking back.
Everyone is telling me to get over it and be strong and independent and move on. But with a 2.5 year old daughter, I want to use the next 12 months to try to repair the marriage. You are the first person I have heard to tell us what women really want. I did not really understand it while married - now I am getting it - yet being steamrolled over - I do not know that I can get the marriage back together - Ex tells me it is too little to late - I should have figured that out before she initiated divorce.
