[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never felt like my worth came from being a wife. Ever. Didn’t you feel pride in yourself when you were 17? Are you a good daughter? Sister? Friend? Neighbors? [/quote]

I think women are pressure to define themselves in terms of their relationship to others, so thinking about how you’re a good neighbor, friend, etc doesn’t really solve this problem.

OP, you are inherently worthwhile as a standalone human being. The problem is that your spouse couldn’t see that and honor it. That’s a reflection of them, not you. [/quote]

NP and gosh where would we be if men felt any of this?  How many men are genuinely good husbands, fathers, brothers, neighbors, friends.  In my mind I can think of only a few.[/quote]

I felt like this.  I think I was a good husband most of the time but wife made me feel bad most of the time. Now she's ex wife. I feel better.  Maybe she does roo.

Guy, let’s be real.  If you were a good husband, you wouldn’t be divorced.  I’m married and I look around and see what women put up with and if you weren’t tolerable then you were probably pretty terrible.  That goes for your ex wife too, you weren’t good for each other or to each other.[/quote]

I think sometimes we try to fish for reasons that led to the end of a marriage....In most cases it's not that deep, like is complicated and unpredictable.

I think one of the reason people assign blame to people divorcing is the high profile nature of the divorce process itself. [/quote]
