So, you’re left dying to know the answer to this question: “Why couldn’t he change for me?” Read this email from a reader whose boyfriend left her. They have three children together.

Every divorce situation is unique. From growing apart to cheating to addiction to finances to falling in love with someone else to when a spouse leaves the marital home, there are countless reasons couples split up.

There can also be intense feelings of anger, resentment, […]
