We have been married 13 years and our 16 year old will go to college internationally next year. We never really fight, just sort of fell "out of love" somewhere along the way. I know that it has been an issue, but we keep it together and and put on a great face for our daughter.
I guess I just never thought it would end in divorce, but he sees no other way he can be happy. Marriage counseling would be a waste at this point as it is clear he is finished.
Has anyone been in this situation? What did you do to prepare yourself for such a thing and minimize the impact on your child?
For me personally, I've not really worked outside the home, so an education would be my first priority, along with being supportive and keeping my daughter focused on her studies.
Any advice or experience is greatly appreciated, thank you.
