[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you want to stay with someone that doesn’t want to be with you? I know it hurts but if he were cheating you would be here saying why not just divorce instead of cheating? You can fall out of love with someone, I know it hurts but you will be fine. Go to a mediator and split amicably and be great coparents.[/quote]

I totally agree with you but I'll say that when something so huge happens, your first instinct is to want your life to remain the same. It's a totally normal response. We even gave it a whole stage in the grief process. Hopefully we can help OP process why she would work on acceptance rather than trying to force an exiting spouse to stay.

(And actually, just strategically, if you wanted your spouse to stay, accepting their announcement and showing them the door is a lot more likely to make them reconsider then you panicking and trying to convince them to stay. But ultimately it's best to let them go and trust that if they're meant to come back or stay, they will. Fighting it is wasted energy.)[/quote]
