I’m very sorry to hear that. You’re right in that a lot of couples either don’t know how to, or don’t think it’s worth the effort to work through the issues. My wife and I went through some pretty rough patches in our relationship. At one point I almost had to move out of the house, it was that bad.
But we agreed that our marriage and our family were worth fighting for. It took a few years, but we have figured out how to make it work. Both kids are in successful marriages and have their own families now. It’s amazing how fast the years go by.
Now it’s just the 2 of us, I’m retired and my wife still has a few years left to work before she can do the same. We still disagree on stuff, especially if the subject of religion comes up, but we’re both better off together than we would be apart, that we both agree on.
