We Needed a Divorce Coach to Help Us Split Up Not a Marriage Therapist to Keep Us Together
I didn’t want to be coached on how to stay married to my husband but on how to leave him.
My husband and I arrived at our appointment with our new marriage therapist, completely at odds. A few days before I’d told him I wanted a divorce. He responded by freaking out and booking an appointment with this therapist.
He wanted us to stay together. I wanted out of our marriage. My husband spent his days in bed, reading about conspiracy theories while I worked part-time, still trying to stay on top of my mothering duties.
We had two small children. I was done with this arrangement. I believed I’d fair better on my own.
It would be hell at first, for sure. I’d have to figure out how to still take care of our kids while covering all my expenses. But at least I wouldn’t have to worry about my husband anymore.
Anything sounded better than staying married to him at that point. He was a sinking ship and was dragging me and the kids down with him.
We argued constantly. No one was happy. Please — someone help us divorce!
