5 Issues That Ended My 7-Year Marriage. Learn from My Experience and Improve Your Relationship.
Zella’s story
My life is a roller coaster, and today my bottom is down. I divorced a few years ago.
I didn’t dare talk about these five things, but they destroyed my relationship. I am so happy we didn’t have children.
My ex and I attended the same high school in Hapeville, MS. It was a genuine relationship we carried on to college. We were matched and soulmates until we married in a small ceremony after dating for many years.
Things would get better one day and bad the next day. It seemed there was no light in our home or our life. Truth be told, I was in denial and hoped things would work out without work.
A few months after we got married, it dawned on me that my partner was not as responsive as he had been before, but I dismissed it as a “bad day” and hoped things would improve. I remember our first marriage anniversary when he planned nothing, only watching TV until 2:13 am. I remember when I didn’t sleep and waited for him to join me in the bedroom.
