The husband has decided to get a divorce from John after six years of marriage and wants to move on from it. The wife supports him through the process but feels like they are living a lie. They also discuss how they feel and what they need to do to be happy.

I just wanted to let you know that I've made the decision to get a divorce from John.

What? Why would you want to do that? We've been married for six years and have a family together.
human
I know, but I haven't been happy in the marriage for a while now. I think it's better for us to separate and move on rather than stay in an unhappy situation.

But we can work on things. Have you tried couples therapy or talking to me about what's been bothering you?
human
I have tried, but I just don't feel like we can get past our differences. And the more we try to work on things, the more I feel like I'm living a lie.

I'm sorry to hear that, but I don't think divorce is the only solution. We can try to work through this together.
human
I appreciate that, but I've already hired a lawyer and started the process. I just want to move forward and start a new chapter in my life.

I see. Well, I'm here to support you through this, but it's still really hard to hear. It's like we're going back to the topic we talked about a couple of years ago when you saw graffiti that said "Husband is a jerk." I don't want people to think badly of you.
human
It's not about what other people think. It's about how I feel and what I need to do to be happy. And I hope we can co-parent our kids in a way that's best for them, even if we're not together anymore.
