Tonight my husband told me that he wants a divorce. Doesn't love me anymore and doesn't want to try. Due to his job, we have been living apart for the past 4 years. I was OK with it since I love him unconditionally and thought that we have a good partnership. Unfortunately, time took it's toll on him.<P>Any tips for how I can maintain my integrity and grace during the upcoming ordeal? It would be easier if I had some reason to want this divorce. But unfortunately, I am the victim. Through no fault of my own, I have lost his love and have little or no hope of ever getting it back.<P>Karel<P>------------------<BR>

Tegan,<P>I too don't want a divorce and my husband does. I understand the hurt you are feeling. The lack of control you feel w/ your life. <P>Because you want to show integrity and grace ... you will. Things always seem to get uglier the later you get into the divorce process. More demands on the settlement ... negotiating. There is a web site called something like "Divorce as Friends" which really addresses this issue. You might want to check it out. <P>I read your profile. Do you have children? <BR>

AnnB,<P>No children. That was another thing that got sidelined when my H's job moved him from Dallas to Houston. Since we had just bought a house in Dallas that needed remodeling, I stayed in Dallas. In 1995, we thought that separation would only be a few months. But one thing lead to another and four years later, I find myself ultimately alone.<P>This very hard for me since I am deeply involved with his family and consider his family to be as important to me as my family. I can't bear the thought of never seeing his parents again or not being able to watch our nephew grow up.<P>Thank you for your support.<P>Karel
