What are your thoughts on...

...Interesting topics in the June newsletter Steve Harley sent out on Sunday regarding the cause of divorce.

His "Straight To The Point! The Cause Of Divorce" article centers around the notion that divorce is caused by hopelessness! Infidelity, abuse or neglect are symptoms of a marriage that has become mired in hopelessness and also points out how important it is to find marriage therapists that are skilled at helping couples re-establish hope in their relationship and hope about being in love.

What do you think based upon your particular situation and path? Was the lack of hope the final straw?

Wishing everyone a safe 4th!

I do think lack of hope was the final straw, but it also gave me some peace. I can now see how long I denied the problems in the M, and how poorly I reacted to them.
