How I did it: I tried until I could do no more, my partner gave up on me, and I suppose I had given up on myself. 2 Years later, I am a different person albeit a little wiser, and happier than when I was banging my head against the wall. I still believe if you marry it is a serious thing and no joke, divorce should be a last resort. Sometimes though things just don't work out and you have to let go. It took a long time, but I feel like both myself and my ex are happier without each other. (I still feel wrong about the divorce) but that is life, and I think we can get stuck in our beliefs to the point where we loose objectivity.

Lessons & tips: Talk to people in the same situation. Put a post on Craigslist Don't forget that whatever you are feeling now is only temporary. Try to smile, look for things you can do to improve yourself.
