[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I told my husband in late October that I wanted to divorce, [b]after thinking about it for years.[/b] He has always had anger issues and has been emotionally abusive at times. I was afraid he would explode, but he actually broke down and has been trying to convince me to give him a chance to change. Of course, since the first divorce conversation, he has not lost his temper and we are getting along better than ever before. We are semi-separated at this point. He's finally accepted that. This is what I want and is willing to just get it done already. And now I'm getting scared. Being a single parent (we have one child in elementary school) it's the last thing that I ever wanted. But I've been dreaming for years about not being married to him anymore. I know that if I stay, I will never be able to trust the peace in our home, even if he never ever loses his temper again, and I will never feel love for him. I'll just be sleep walking through the rest of my life.

Is it typical to get cold feet about divorce?[/quote]

Did you ever do therapy -- individual or joint? If you're clear on your issues, you just leave. However, I wouldn't want to take my issues with me. That's the only way I'd have peace. We talked about splitting, had individual therapy for a year and joint therapy for a year. Decided to stay together, but I felt like I had a handle on my own issues that I'd worked on. [/quote]
