Legal alien about to get divorced, where i stand?

I got married and after a year of marriage, we filed the immigration petition, which was granted 3 mont later. Now I have a conditional permanent residency.
My marriage is going down, big time, we are not getting along, and I hardly can take the argument anymore. I want out.
There's still a chance to pull throw this: we are going to marital counseling.
Anyway, I want to know my options. What about my residency status? What is goint to happen with it.

If the petitioner and beneficiary are separated or have initiated divorce at the time the I-751 is due to be filed (90 days before expiration date of the greencard), the petitioner and beneficiary may still file a joint petition if the petitioner is willing to sign the petition.

If the petitioner is not willing to sign a joint petition, the beneficiary is not eligible to file a petition requesting a waiver of the joint filing requirement due to divorce until the divorce is final UNLESS abuse is the basis for such a filing.

The alien’s status may be terminated because s/he has been unable to file a timely I-751 and s/he may be placed in removal proceedings.
