[quote=Anonymous]I read many posts that deal with spouses that had cheated, had emotionally checked out of marriages, are not happy for whatever the reason or simply they have grown apart.  After 18 years of marriage, I am at peace with the pending divorce with my DW.  I came to the conclusion that the gift of being able to look within, realize that divorce is never black and white, and take some accountability for my contribution to the demise of my marriage. And I believe that having the ability to admit some fault is the difference between not only moving on. Divorce sucks. I did a lot of the wrong things in my marriage and don’t blame her for tapping out. I own it. I do wish however she stayed to see my transformation and give us another chance. I hate that we can’t be together as a family with the kids. I hate some other male figure will be in my kids lives. But I did it and own it. At least I am becoming a better person as a result.

Unsure what comments will be provided (good or bad), but I realize the kids and the happiness of my DW are the priorities.  I am a male who has worked lots of hours in a stressful profession that required many long days, weekends, holidays, and birthdays.  So I missed the important days in the lives of my kids and DW, not including be supportive of the DW when you asked for support for profession and around the house.  The difficult part is knowing that the kids will not have a home of two parents.  And this hurts tremendously but I am aware of my fault that lead to divorce.  If I know my DW, she is out reading stories on this forum.  Just know - the man you married a long time ago is changing and will change for the love of our children.  When did anyone feel at peace with themselves that divorce is ok?
