I’m going to admit something that is actually really embarrassing for me. Here it comes….I’m being brave. I said the “D” word. Actually, if I’m being honest, I’ve said the “D” word at least a handful of times (if not more) during heated arguments throughout the course of our ten-year marriage.

Citing things like, “maybe you’re toxic for me,” or “maybe we’re just not compatible,” or “I saw this...
