Were you ever on the brink of divorce and came back from it and are happy you gave it another chance? I’m talking like you spoke to an attorney and were getting ready to have the conversation with your spouse that it was over.
My husband has some anger control issues and there’s been some verbal abuse on and off through the course of our marriage when we fight. I never really sat him down and told him how it affects me or makes me feel, I just out up with it and decided I wanted to end it. We got in an argument and I ended up telling him I met with an attorney but hadn’t hired them yet. He begged for a chance to improve himself and change his behaviors. Says he will do therapy or whatever it takes to keep the family together, and if he knew how I felt he would have changed already. I don’t want to tear my family in half, and he seems like he is remorseful and has acknowledged he’s the one that has to work to make changes for the marriage to work. I think I’m willing to give him the chance but I’m cautiously optimistic. I told him I don’t think I’m in love with him anymore and he asked can I love him again if he changes his ways. I said maybe; it’ll take time.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and they really did get better with therapy and effort and the marriage is better now than it was?
