Reading through some of these responses gives me some hope. I hate the thought of not having my husband in my life, but things are really rough right now because of the split. We both want everything to be amicable regardless of what happens, which is a good thing I guess. I would love to be able to remain friends with him after everything is final since we've been in each others lives for 10 years now. We started out as friends and got married, and I guess we were just the type mentioned in some of these posts: friends that got married but really couldn't live together. I know we both really wanted it to work, but it just hasn't worked out that way.
