Great article

What resonated most with me:

When you are the only one trying to save your marriage, save yourself and get the hell out.

Yep,
It chimed with me; as one who is leaving a long, long unhappy marriage for an uncertain future.

I'd say choose hope; for me that's the bottom line. I can live without many things but not that.

Just wanted to extract this quote from the referenced link - " We need to stop trying to pretend everything is okay when everything is so f*cking far from okay that we haven’t been able to put it into words."

Vary accurate statement that is.

Yes, I too could TOTALLY relate. Very very good article. Paints a very accurate picture of the brutal nature of divorce and the suffering now for happiness later, and no guarantee of that happiness later, only a hope, though the current suffering is guaranteed.

Those of us that tread that path are at least a little Courageous.
