My husband and I have been married for about 10 years about three months ago he asked me for a separation because he is not happy. Tried to Separate counseling sessions but he was very angry and uninterested. He feel like he needs to be single. I love him very much and I want to do everything in my power to fix this. I want to know that I tried everything I could to save my marriage. Especially since we have a child together. It has also gave me severe anxiety. He has stated that he loves be but that he is not happy in the marriage and believes that he cannot be happy with me. I do not believe in divorce but Im not sure if there is anything I could do. Any advice or encouragement would be helpful for me thanks you.

it sounds like you have done everything in your power to fix this but he has made up his mind. at this point, you need to move toward a healthy separation so that the two of you can remain conflict free for the sake of your child. if you can remain friends and the love is still there, there may be the chance of reconciliation after a cooling off period. take care.

It really stinks, when you've done everything in your power, to try and mend things, in a relationship, and they still choose to leave. It will hurt, in the time being, but in the long run, consider how unhappy life would be, knowing that your husband's heart and soul, just isn't into it.

Make sure, you file for child support, right away. And ten years, tends to give you some vested alimony. Will you be able to financially survive, alone?

I'm not sure that's another thing that stresses me out. I was a stay at home mom for our son. I feel the extra stress of trying to find a job going to school and dealing with my marriage which is hanging on by a thread.

I am not trying to be harsh- but whether or not you believe in divorce, you can't make someone stay in a marriage that doesn't want to be there. You gave it an honest go, you did your best, and that is nothing to be ashamed of. But if he's not in the same frame of mind as you, the sooner you accept that things are changing (and take the best steps necessary to protect yourself and transition into a new life), the quicker you will recover and move on to a better, more authentic life. It may not seem like that right now with so many unknowns, but you can and will get there.

I'm going through the same thing with my wife of 5 yrs. She hasn't said she wants a divorce yet but has moved out and refuses to wear her ring. I know how hard it is for you. I love my wife more than anything and I'd do anything to fix things but get nothing back. It hurts bad.
