It seems that divorce is becoming increasingly likely for me and my wife.

Together 12 years, married 6, one 3yo daughter, house and dog. UK.

I’m trying to accept that both of us have been at fault - me for anger issues that have made my wife feel belittled and disrespected, and my wife for closing herself off as a wife and becoming a mother and a roommate.

We’ve done an initial counselling session, but really it reinforced that my wife wants to end things, while I want to try to make them work (but only if that is reciprocated).

Currently we seem to getting on as usual - friendly, joking, keeping up appearances for our daughter I suppose - but we both know what is looming on the horizon.

Just hoping we can keep things amicable through the separation, as we will be bound to each other for the rest of our lives, as our daughter’s parents.

Not sure what the point of this post is - tips for keeping friendly, keeping going, just a place to write thoughts. Anyway, thanks for reading x
