nexttribe.com/heading-for-divorce/Someone out there is going to relate and connect with this very well. So, so many emotions and experience that go on before the divorce even happens.

And yet now that I have 7 months in the rear view mirror my main thought is why I tortured myself so many years past when my marriage actually died. |

I felt the same after my divorce, actually, during it. |

Read it from the perspective of an old bloke, out of my ILIASM deal by 9+ years now (fuck, I can't believe its' that long sometimes).
Whereas I felt all the emotions this "Joanna Bennett" describes, many of them I had dealt with during the marriage.
I had surprisingly few moments of sadness in the aftermath of leaving.
That is NOT to devalue or demean my marriage or my missus (indeed someone might look at it and say - "well they raised two kids, built up a very handy asset base, so it was a success for 30 years")
It does however look to me like this woman who wrote the piece is still focused on her past, rather than her future.
That's not necessarily a good thing.
It would be interesting to read her views in March 2019.
I'd be betting they'd have shifted significantly by then.
