Married for six years Chapter 1

Title: Married for six years, no longer in love with my older wife. How do I divorce her without hurting her or getting revenge?

The word divorce caught my eye. Something compelled me to click.

The OP’s avatar was a cartoon Shiba Inu. It looked cute.

It even resembled the Shiba I owned.

He wrote:

"I met my wife when I was a senior in high school. My family was poor, and I was about to drop out to work.

She brought me to the city and supported my education.

She’s seven years older than me. A very responsible adult.

She treated me well—paid for my tuition and living expenses, cared about my studies and health. She even helped me choose my college.

But I was too young. I thought that was love.

So, sophomore year of college, I confessed my feelings. When she rejected me, I kept trying. Eventually, she agreed."

I scrolled down, my grip on the phone tightening.

"I was so proud of myself back then. A kid landing a mature, successful woman.

Looking back, it was wrong from the start.

Once we were official, she started pouring resources into me.

She was already a corporate executive. Almost every opportunity I got in college had her fingerprints on it.

I’m grateful for that. My resume looks great because of her.

Right after graduation, I joined her company.

Then we got married. It’s been six years now."

My palms were sweating, ice-cold.

I was certain. The OP was my husband, Liam.

The boy who used to smile and call me "Big Sis," promising to treat me well forever, was now posting online.

Airing our dirty laundry to strangers, looking for a "dignified" way to leave me without facing consequences.

I started questioning myself. Was I the problem?

Was I too strict? Did I not give him enough security? Six years of marriage, and this is where we ended up?

If he wanted to leave, he could have just talked to me. Why post this?

In that moment, curiosity outweighed the pain. I desperately needed to know why.

Why?

Why choose this way?

I kept reading. I needed to understand why he wanted out.
