What a wrenching and honest dialogue. Thank you for this. My marriage in the death throes and it's nice to know life goes on and can get better! I think my marriage is beyond a spell caster or therapy . . .
It is impossible to have a high travel corporate job and stay in good shape. The travel has you eating on the run, the hotel gyms are crap and the food is fantastic and free. I did it for 35 years and traveled the world. No wonder your marriage did not last - you were never home.
My ex-wife started gaining weight and becoming distant and cold right as she turned 40. She struggled for 3 more years and started become very aggressive with me. I did not respond well. I truly thought it was all her fault but now I realize how I wasnt keeping my side of the street clean. In the last 7 months she lost 35 pounds and then asked for a divorce.
As a single mom of a wonderful son who is now 20 I NEVER would have chosen my "travel" or work over being with him and talking him through the divorce...we must ALWAYS put our kids first - bad and selfish move, sorry...
Decent honesty and vulnerability but still little accountability and true self reflection. Marriages can be saved/fixed if partners focus on connection instead of giving up and buying into the idea that we can all be happy alone.
My husband retired I was very ill.He wasted our life's savings He bought toys a new truck he proceeded to buy used cars for young girls in exchange for sex.He fell in love with a prostitute with a drug problem.We were broke He proceeded to borrow money at high interest to pay her heroin habit I had to divorce him.going to court walking with a Walker going blind.if I hadn't I would have lost my home.the only thing we had left.though I am on alot of medication for autoimmune disease my eyesight sight is better I need a hip replacement hopefully my health will be better He is now. Homeless unless I let him stay in a camper in my back yard.after 30 years of living upper middle class active life I am just getting by. .
I really needed this because my marriage is over I'm so ready for divorce ! I want to wake up Wonderful..
Good luck friend!

Many listeners felt the same way Sue.
