That greener grass on the other side of the fence could be due to a septic tank issue. So be careful with the choices you make. It’s no fun living in regret.

[davidlatting]

She wanted the divorce and she got it. Now she’s suffering the consequences of her actions and wants pity.

[al-yd]

This is what happens when folks look for happiness in their relationship and not within themselves
It's not your partners job to make you happy, if you make it their job you'll never be happy

[sheikh]

"Allowing him to quit his job"
"He's home, and the kids are home, and I'm still working full time"
Sounds like someone really resented being the provider.

[Guitarlvr]

I can’t stand lame excuses for divorce. She still calls the man her best friend, and claims it just couldn’t work with marriage? Um… I wish John had challenged this. She doesn’t sound like someone who should be dating. And if multiple counselors told her she was the one who needed change, maybe it was TRUE.

[jsy]

This woman sounds like a wackadoodle. “How do I teach my kids that marriage is for better or for worse, that it’s forever?” 🤔 Ummm, let’s see, don’t get divorced.

[kristinej.]

She tore her family apart and now already in a new relationship but can’t get over her ex. Omg! Get your act together lady! I feel very sorry for her children who are the ones suffering the most.

[dudewhathappenedtomycountr]

The in-laws taking in the ex-husband speaks volumes. It's almost like they're apologizing for what their daughter has put him through.

[atomicprince]

Those who think the grass is greener, usually end up playing in the mud. Case in point.

[Friendznco]

"I can't help but feel like I've failed them."

You have.

[chloeyorke]

She’s having a hard time taking accountability for her part in her failed marriage. And she thinks she can just move on without facing the consequences of her past actions or coming to terms with the fact that she loves her husband. There’s a lot to unpack here.

[wiseowl]

Society makes divorce sound like an easy, no pain solution for an unhappy relationship. The truth is it's painful and has consequences for both people.

[erbjp]

She shouldn’t be going out rushing into another relationship. She’s needy.

[mysticquetzal]

you can’t have it all, a weak husband that you can boss around and a tough one who works hard and earns a lot, a big career and tons of time with your kids. gotta make choices!

[DonzellLampkins]

She divorced him bc she resented him being home with the kids. Now the kids get no parent at home with them. Praying for those kids.

[christoph]

She straight up had a new relationship. Councilor told her SHE needs to change. My guess; she already had the hots for that new guy, the excitement, the tickle of something new and sent her marriage into failure. Now that the dopamine rush of something new has worn off she’s left with the realization she’s put the kids in a broken home and now has to carry the full financial burden and responsibilities and hates it. Well, duh…

[mikereppucci]

She’s full of crap . Already involved with someone else. She is the problem.

[kcourtney]

The grass is not greener on the other side, just wait till he meets someone who appreciates him

[shb]

I'm sure people will call me judgemental but I don't think you should be "living like you're married" with anyone you're not married to when you have kids. It doesn't seem like much time has passed either.

[jordanott]

She DID teach them they can quit. There's no way out of it.
