Shanay: Whoever says marriage is easy. They are lying. Actually, now I can see why people divorce. It's not because it's an easy way out or because you fall out of love. Well at least that's not why I want a divorce. It's this thing called infidelity that can ruin your marriage and your self-esteem. But then again my marriage was going downhill way before that. I can see why he would cheat on me. I'm a difficult person and lately I haven't been in the mood to talk or be intimate with my husband. Intimacy brings people close together and creates children. I don't want to be close to my husband at the moment and I can't have kids. As you can see intimacy hasn't been a factor for us in a while. It's not like sex with my husband is bad. It's just I'm going through a lot. I'm in a dark place. Christopher:Setting across from this women and I can't seem to figure out how we ended up here. Two weeks ago she handed me separation papers and basically told me to leave. I signed the papers but I still had to fight for what I have always wanted. I handed her the papers and told her she could have everything; the house, the cars, and the money. But only if she could look at me and tell me she didn't love me. Instead, she said, "I love you I can't say I don't."
