After many attempts to fix things my husband and I have begun the divorce process. We have been through counseling and tried all the things that people typically suggest. In the end we do not hate each other - we just don't love each other. He however, says that he wants to stay married. At this point it is in my hands.
Here is my issue..... I can't get past my overwhelming guilt that a choice to leave him will cause my children to suffer. I've read many posts about the "staying together for the kids" concept. I know where I stand on that issue. I just don't know if this guilt is normal. If it is, how long does it last?
My husband does not beat me or anything. We do a real good job of night fighting in front of the children, although yes, I am sure they sense the tension. I just can't get through this overwhelming guilt and it is making me want to stay with a man that I don't love just so I don't have to face the guilt. Can I expect that this feeling will ever go away?
