For about 6 months now, my husband and, I have been having pretty severe issues with our marriage and, our relationship. He has convinced himself that he no longer loves me and, as of the end of May he put a petition for divorce in. This is killing me and, making me be in a million pieces. My children need their father and, I need my husband. I don't know what else I can do to put my life back together and, that being with his family isn't a mistake and, he needs to give me just 1 more chance to prove it to him. He's just not letting me back into his thoughts and his heart. What can I do? Please help me! :(

Why did he file for divorce? Have the two of you had any couples counseling?

There is far more to your current situation. What has led up to him actually filing for divorce is the end of a marriage; far beyond where serious problems can now be addressed.

Wondergirl is asking what have you tried? Marriage counselling for example- somewhere along the way? What worked, and what didn't work. What are the main issues, and is he at all willing to consider taking steps to try to reverse the decision he has made?

Why do you have hope that things can still work out. Has he given any indication that he may change his mind. Has he said or done anything in order for you to think there is a chance, still, of saving this marriage?

More information and history would provide a better understanding of your situation.

If he has actually filed for a divorce, then you do what ever it takes, with what ever help you need, like a great lawyer and, support of family, to protect yourself and, your kids.

Just in case he doesn't change his mind.
