“Not long ago, I heard those dreaded words, “I love you, but I am not in love with you anymore.” While I knew that things were not great between us, nothing could have prepared me to hear that after 21 years of marriage and 26 years together. A few weeks later, I realized that my husband had gotten himself a new, younger girlfriend and was planning a new life with her and her young child. I was crushed and our kids were furious with their father and worried what would happen to our family.
At first, all I could feel was fury at him and the other woman as she knew we were married and did not care because she had wanted him for a very long time. I did all of the wrong things. I carried on with anger, cried all of the time and acted like a total victim which is truly not my nature. I knew he felt some guilt, but my actions were pushing him away and into her arms.
That is when I contacted Divorce Busters and began my discussions with my coach. She gave me hope when I felt like I was truly losing the battle for my marriage. My coach was also able to direct my energies into more productive strategies that really helped me turn things around. During each session, she listened to what steps I took, what results I received, and how to make changes that would get me to my goal of regaining my formerly happy marriage. There were days I wanted to throw in the towel and/or kill him because he was not responding fast enough for me. My coach’s tips kept me going.
Finally, he let go of the other woman and fully recommitted to our marriage. Now, my husband tells me how much he loves me, and how glad he is that I fought for our marriage. Our kids have forgiven him and this year’s Christmas was wonderful and we are a happy family. I recommend Michele’s phone counseling to everyone!“
