Has anyone here every survived a divorce and lived to tell a better story? I love being married and being a mommy, but I don't love my husband and things are just getting worse. We never see eye to eye and fight most of the time. I feel like we are so miserable and there is no way out of the misery, other than to divorce... We are both so very unhappy...

I'm not there yet but just wanted to say hi. I'm new to the board too, in the very early stages of separating (and likely divorcing). btw, your little boy is adorable!
I am very happy, though my story is pretty different.
Just curious (b/c you didn't give much backstory), Have you gone to counseling? Together or alone? Whether you atay together or decide to split I suggest you see someone to help you sort out your true feelings and guide you down whichever path you choose.
GL!
You're right, I was so brief, I just needed to get it "out" there. We've been married 3 1/2 years. Most of it has been just okay, though when we decided to go off b/c we were doing well. His family has always created a big wedge between us, but he thinks it is my causing, primarily, not all of it. But he has only one time completely sided with me. He almost always sides with his family. There are other issues too, but this is the main one. We've been to counseling several times, never seems to help. How can it if both people aren't willing to truly listen and take their blame. I am not perfect, but I am a good wife and a really good mommy. We just don't agree on anything - I mean anything and it has gotten more pronounced since having the baby. :

Re: Hi all... I'm new here.
I am in the process of filing right now, but I know I will survive, and be better off then I was before.
