You're not a failure. You made the right decision and you will be healthier and happier for it.

This tugged at my heart a little. OP, I've been fighting a divorce for almost 8 months. My soon-to-be-ex husband admitted to me recently that it's nothing I have done, he just wants a divorce. No other reason. We even started dating each other again, and I thought we were going to reconcile. 2 days after our last date, we had mediation. He went ahead and signed the papers. But he still says it's not me. So, I know how it feels. But you have to both want it. You can't try to work on it yourself. It's like swimming with your hand tied behind your back. I hope it gets easier.

All things must come to an end some time or the another

You can now give some solid advice based on your experience

find new employment. obviously you couldn't save your own.

Don't worry, op. Your job is about trying to make marriages work, not making people believe that staying in a marriage is always better than a divorce. People need to understand that no matter how hard you try to fix your marriage, sometimes divorce is the better option. As long as you try in the first place. That's what you're there for. I hope you're coping with this ok and that people aren't giving you a even harder time about it. All the best :)
