why my wife Request for a Divorce
I can just describe it with the feeling that the earth had just moved from under my feet when my wife filed for divorce. The feelings are overwhelming: sadness, depression, and disorientation.
Though it is one talk that was really hard to deal with, it made me think thoroughly about the nature of our connection. It is important for my personal healing, as well as possible moving forward — together or apart — to understand her reason for this decision.
Lack of communication
Communication breakdown forms the main cause of problems in many relationships. We have gradually become silent about our emotions and thoughts. Little arguments started growing into a lack of communication and understanding. There was a growing emotional chasm between us when my wife confessed that she thought she was never really understood or valued by me.
