I share your pain.
My wife and I are just about to part ways, too.

I'm sorry. Please talk about it if it'll help - it doesn't have to be here. Find someone to share your feelings with.
Hang in there.
Cheers, Scott.

There often are.
You can start a new thread under a new ID if you'd like to keep it more anonymous.
It's good to talk about it, even if doing so doesn't solve the problem. Sometimes a fresh perspective helps.
I'm sure it's a tough situation for both of you.
Hang in there.
Cheers, Scott.

Since yours is a generally level head
it doesn't have to become nasty; most of us haven't been sanely prepared while growing up, for the fact that some personalities just won't dovetail, even after accommodations.
(Wasn't Who Knew?? invented as the .zip equivalent of that?)
FWIW and IME yada.. some formerly-marrieds become great friends, later on; their shared experience counts in uncountable ways.
Commiserations, and ..Luck!

Sometimes even during.
There was the local divorce of Neil and Nancy. The visible reason for divorce was Neil's torrid affair with Eva, but who knows what else there may have been.
mutual friend - "Have you heard about Nancy and Neil?" me - "Yes." friend - "Have you talked to either of them?" Me - "Yes, both, but not for a few days, they're on vacation up north." friend - "What do you mean they're on vacation? Together? They're getting a divorce!" me - "Yes, but they hold that the vacation was planned before the divorce so they're taking it."
After the divorce Neil and Eva occasionally had Nancy over for dinner and sometimes they planned activities together. All in all the smoothest divorce I've seen or heard of.

Ugh.

Hurt me if you must, but let the duckie go!

Every year is a terrible year for marriages
Are you sure, as a species, we should even accept the concept?

Problematic or not - it's probably necessary.
The main problem is the length of time, attention and particularly the expense of bringing up human children. Marriage may not be a really good solution to this problem but it seems to be the best one we've got.

Nothing to add, just condolenses.

I ask you this, does that not also logically mean that 68% approve of the job he's not doing? Think about it. I haven't." — Stephen Colbert, at the White House Correspondent's Dinner 29Apr06
