Well, we didn't get counceling... But we admittedly had a communications problem throughout our marriage.

She was often mad because I was grumpy and made snappy remarks - and I know I should have spoken up about a lot of things, for many years, but just kept things to myself to avoid confrontations. And I thought "As long as she's happy, I'm happy", and made myself believe that. But in the end, we have VERY different personalities.

And I don't want to sound like I'm not at fault here - things have two sides. ***** happens, but I really think it's for the best.

I agree that it's bad for the kids. But we both try to do our best to make them happy in this new situation.

But thanks for the support and kind words, guys. It was good to get this off my chest. Strange how one can confide in total strangers on the net, huh?
