After much consideration and soul-searching, Michael and I have arrived at the decision to divorce due to “Irreconcilable Differences.”
Divorce is terribly sad, painful and incomprehensible for children. It is not something we have decided lightly.
The hands-on style of parenting we practice played no role in the changes that led to this decision; relationships are complicated no matter what style of parenting you choose.
The main priority for us now is to make the transition to two loving homes as smooth and painless as possible. Our sons deserve parents committed to their growth and health and that’s what we are focusing on. Our privacy has always been important and is even more so now, and we thank you in advance for respecting it as we negotiate this new terrain.
We will be ok.

That being said, I do think some people should get divorced if that's the best thing for them and there's no shame in it but I think a lot of people get married today and are lazy or selfish and quick to blame instead of admitting their part in it and working to save their marriage. Bottom line marriage isn't for every one and some marriages run their course and no one owes anyone an explanation as to why they made that decision it should just be respected.

My husband of 8 years (together for 10) announced back in June that he wanted a divorce and nothing I could do would change his mind.
I did everything I could to try to save my marriage, he did nothing. I forgave him for cheating on me (with a disgusting bitch no less). Still, nothing.
In September, I finally gave up. I sleep knowing that I tried. I wake up feeling fine. I'm terrified as shit, but I'll be okay.
It's sad how people change, and just give up on something that is worth saving.
(basically, I just wanted to rant. Sorry you were my target :(
