Lookback: 1 year and a half

Initiated divorce after 10 years of marriage

Sat spouse down to discuss relationship and gave them a chance to address issues, but they didn't change

If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate honestly and try to find a middle ground, but be prepared for different interpretations"
