Bre Avery Zacharski
He truly wanted to move on and issue his forgiveness, and from his perspective, it appeared that he and his wife were moving into an era of being even stronger than before.
Their communication got better, and the outlook was sunny. He was committed to making their marriage succeed, even saying he would go to counseling along with his wife.
But yesterday, his wife stepped out to run a couple of errands and blindsided him when she admitted she actually signed a lease on an apartment instead and would be moving out.
He can’t believe she wants out of their marriage without saying a word to him about this first.
“I’m now sitting in our house alone, with our cats and belongings, about to go on a work trip, with the world crashing down on top of me,” he continued.
“My lungs atrophied with the last breath I took during that phone call; the callous way she said she was leaving burned into my brain. Look, I’m not perfect. I deflect pain with bad jokes and can sometimes be overbearing. But…I thought we were going to go the distance. I still want to. I don’t want this to end…”
“Where do I even go from here? Do I plead and beg? Do I accept that there’s nothing I can do to stop this? It’s not like I’m unapproachable. She could have come to me and said anything, and I would have listened and done my best to empathize or sympathize with it.”
