Sometimes the guilt I still carry from my divorce hits me on a random Sunday morning when the house is empty and quiet. It has been eight years since I separated from my ex-husband, and despite our good friendship and effective co-parenting, the guilt lingers. We parted ways amicably, yet I still find myself wondering if I could have tried harder when, at the time, I felt it was impossible to do more.
Falling out of love is painful, especially when you realize that both of you were yearning for different things in life. My ex-husband and I were once a great couple, but taking each other's happiness began to take a toll. We've created a healthy co-parenting relationship, and while I question the idea of staying together for the kids, I believe true happiness derives from mutual desire to be together—not solely for the sake of our children.
