To be fair, due to childhood trauma and resultant trust issues, I didn’t want to get married. In fact, I’ve left him 8 times, always returning because he is so kind and loving to me. Things were fine, then suddenly we started fighting all the time, which had never happened. I became desperate for help, fervently praying to God for guidance. After 5 years of not leaving him, I found myself planning to leave him yet again, only this time he told me it would be final.Nancy, I hear how lonely it is to live with cold wars and no intimacy.

Love this my husband after 30 years started drinking I started working again and it caused even more stress I forgot how positve silly happy and fun I am. Dear Laura, I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world and for trying to end divorce, I also believe divorce is a tragedy for all involved :-(. I was sitting on the marriage counselor’s gray couch when I realized my marriage was hopeless. He was NEVER going to change and I didn’t see any option but to get a divorce. Housework is not and never will be self-care.

I put substantial time and energy into self-care, which used to make me feel guilty and uncomfortable. I notice many of my clients face the same challenge. One woman asked me to clarify whether it’s still self-care if she dropped off a letter at the post office while she was on her walk, even though it was the endorphins and the change of scenery she was after. Another asked if playing games on her phone still counts as self-care even though she only spent ten minutes doing it.
