Hello
While I Struggle with my own issues of having a h that is a love addict and possible other addictions, I learned today that my cousin is facing divorce
Her husband of 7 years just came out of the blue and told her that he didn't love her anymore and left. He wants a divorce. Just like that.
My cousin has just passed the denial stage and now she is facing lots of anger.
Any idea what is really going on here? Why would he do that?

It's never 'just like that'.
It's usually something that has been building up. Likely there was withdrawal on at least one side, and that just doesn't spontaneously happen. Someone or both of them weren't fulfilling each other's emotional needs, and that's easy to overlook with all the other issues we deal with on a daily basis - job, kids, pets, finances, etc. etc.
We have to learn to put our marriages first...
Suggest this site to your cousin.

7 year itch?
If not, a good chance he met someone else and he thinks the grass is greener. Your cousin should snoop.
