Her Husband Abruptly Served Her With Divorce Papers, But Then Showed Up Months Later Sobbing While Begging Her To Take Him Back
Over in the UK, this 31-year-old woman got hitched to her 32-year-old husband four years ago, and she truly believed that they had an unshakable foundation.
So you can understand why she was shocked one evening when her husband abruptly handed her divorce papers since she was under the impression everything between them was great.
She desperately hoped it was a cruel prank, but it wasn’t. She asked her husband why he had filed for divorce as she held back the tears.
“My husband (without looking me in the eye) explained that over time, he had just felt us growing apart, and while he still cared about me, [he] didn’t love me,” she explained.
“I felt so heartbroken, but I was also angry that he’d never spoken to me about his issue; it was like he hadn’t even given me a chance to fix things.”
“I told him that, and he became defensive, telling me that was how he felt and I had to deal with it. He went to bed, and I slept on the couch.”
In the days that immediately followed that sorrowful night, she mulled over her husband’s decision and attempted to see his version of the story.
She knew that he was right in that they didn’t spend a ton of time together because they both received promotions at work.
Additionally, her dad received a terminally ill diagnosis, and she’s gone alone to see him every other weekend.

So, the distance argument made sense to her, but it upset her that her husband never mentioned it before jumping to filing for divorce.
Several more days passed, and she realized she no longer wanted to spend her life with a man who admitted he wasn’t in love with her.
It was then that she said she was willing to move forward with the divorce process. Her loved ones were so sad, but she was surprised when her husband’s parents each sent her lengthy texts pleading with her to give her husband another shot.
This all went down months ago, and her husband has been living with his brother while she’s kept on staying in their home.
So far, they have gotten along well amid the divorce, which is really the only thing she can think to ask for as they separate their lives.
“At one meeting, my husband even mentioned he was going on a blind date that night,” she said.
“It hurt to hear, but at the same time, I accepted it because our relationship was as good as over. All that changed last week when my husband and [his] brother showed up unexpectedly on the doorstep. My husband was crying and begging for me to take him back.”
“He kept saying he’d loved me all this time and had made a terrible mistake. The whole thing felt so weird, and I ended up telling them both to leave and closed the door.”
After she closed the door in his face, he called her up sobbing and left her dozens of voicemails. Her best friend thinks that perhaps this blind date her husband was seeing dumped him, leading to his desire to want her back.
She can only speculate, as there’s no telling what caused him to come running. He hasn’t stopped begging her to give him another chance.
He insists that they can reverse the divorce since it’s not yet finalized, but that’s not something she’s interested in doing.
“I feel insulted that after starting this, he’s now turning around trying to make everything go back to how it was,” she added.
“How can I navigate this and get it through his head that I don’t want him back?”
