[quote=Anonymous]I'm divorced and sad about it,  mostly for my son,  who doesn't have an intact family. But we talk about it with him and he's happy not to be around fighting parents anymore (though he certainly has his sad moments too.)

But,  to switch gears a bit, it seems like part of the reason OP may be sad is that she has a very reactive perspective.  There's a lot in her post about what DH wanted and her remembrances / reaction to him.  This is natural to an extent,  but may be hindering her ability to get past him.  Yes,  bug differences can get worse,  and it can be difficult to predict that.  But something I learned in my divorce is that everyone needs to be their own agent of happiness.  OP: what did you want out of the marriage? What needs weren't being met? We're they really needs,  or just wants? We're the differencs actually important or symptoms of an inability to work through differences? Until you can really answer these questions,  you'll have a lot of regret.  And even when you can,  you'll have some.   I offer this perspective out of compassion and the hope it helps you in your journey.  [/quote]
