After several months of struggling with my feelings, I finally asked my wife for a divorce last night. It was the absolute most difficult thing I've ever done. But the fact is, while I care for her very much, I am not "in love" with her anymore. It is not fair to either of us to stay in this relationship; she deserves the chance to find the right person for her (as do I). As long as she's married to me, that can never happen.
While legally nothing has changed yet, it will mean a return to single-hood in the next few months. Thankfully, the hardest thing may be trying to figure out how things like the house and the stuff we've acquired should be divided. We have no kids, but we do have 4 dogs and 2 cats. While that is certainly not on the same level as child custody, it's going to be hard enough to figure that out. Never mind about trying to disentangle our finances.
This is going to be hard. I have it on good authority that it will get better.
I hope so. It'd suck to go through this only to be worse off than before.
