Help, My Husband Wants a Divorce and I Don t

Marriage is a two way street, it takes both to make it work. But what do you do if only one of you is willing to work on things? What if you are saying:

Help! My husband wants a divorce but I don't!

Unfortunately this is a very difficult place to be. It is very hurtful to know that your significant other wishes to end the marriage. This doesn't mean that things have to be over though, as I feel that marriage is the biggest commitment you can have, and certainly deserves effort to attempt to improve things if things start to turn sour.

When a husband suggests divorce, one of the worst things you can do is become overly emotional and lash out. I totally understand feeling this way, and being incredibly upset, but sometimes this can just feed into your husband's already negative view of the marriage. Keeping cool and as rational as possible is crucial when trying to figure things out.

When a husband considers divorce, often times he has not thought it through, and actually separating can be quite a shock. I understand that right now you may be thinking, if we separate then it is going to be over. If your husband is set on a separation, it can be difficult to change his mind, and sometimes the best thing is showing him what his life would really be like without you. Sometimes even the thought of separating or the reality of divorce is enough to scare a couple into realizing they need to work together to help preserve things before it gets worse.
