Hi, younganddivorced. I am currently 26 and going through a divorce with my husband. We have been together for 10 years (married for 4). Your story is very similar to mine, except I am currently in the process of divorce and shocked that it is happening. Although we had issues, I was confident we could work through anything and was surprised when our short separation ended with him telling me he wants a divorce. I was sure that he would want to work through our problems, but he also said he's been unhappy for years and seemed to focus on only all the bad times we experienced, completely disregarding the many beautiful memories and traditions we've built. He was once doing very well for himself, and our relationship did thrive at that point, the last two years he had businesses fail and was forced to go back to school, I have been supporting us since then. And I do feel that much of what he feels is really intern due to his failures. It was helpful to see a post from someone my age, who went through something similar. As at this point, I feel so lost and hurt, and cannot imagine my life. To hear you're happy a year later brings me so much hope that my situation will too one day improve.
