When did you know it was time to get divorced?

I am not as interested in those who found out their spouse was having an affair or had committed some other heinous betrayal, as that is not my situation. When did you finally realise that, despite all the pain and suffering involved, you were no longer in love with this person and that it was time to move forward? Are they two incredibly close friends living together and raising their children properly, or are they actually married?

If you have small children, you earn bonus points. about between five and ten. We had previously attended marriage counseling for a number of months, as I constantly bringing up the subject. After hearing something from the therapist that she did not agree with, my wife finally stopped going.

Coming home lost its appeal as I found myself dreading her presence…

I stopped looking forward to coming home and hoped she wouldn’t be there when I did…

I realized that despite the years together and our efforts in marriage counseling, I was no longer in love with my spouse. Our relationship had evolved into that of two incredibly close friends co-parenting our young children, aged between five and ten, rather than a romantic partnership. The turning point came when my wife stopped attending counseling after disagreeing with the therapist. It was then that I understood it was time to move forward, focusing on providing a stable and loving environment for our kids while accepting that our marriage had fundamentally changed.

I realised it was time to cut ties for good when I felt like a complete stranger in my own house and instead preferred renting an apartment.

I thought I would feel different after undertaking several counselling and therapy sessions but none worked. After that I knew nothing could restore our severed bond.
