Does he have no conscience? I feel nothing but sadness that my marriage is falling apart. I cannot put a fake smile on my face and face?

So, why are you getting a divorce?

That means he has been wanting this for a long time and finally feels free. He probably felt trapped in the marriage and now is having fun because he feels like a weight has been lifted. You can't control how another person feels in a breakup

When I broke up with my fiance, I was also happy because until we broke up I didn't even see how miserable I had been and could finally get my life back. He on the other hand was devastated and withdrew from his friends for weeks

I'm going through the same thing. My marriage has been falling apart, yet while I was upset, he was laughing and talking to his friends, playing video games, ect. He asked for a divorce a week ago, and I left 3 days ago. He literally acts like we haven't been married for 6 years. He is acting like we are acquaintances.

im guessing either he's the one who wanted the divorce, or his behavior gave you no choice but to insist on one. your husband is relieved. he's acting happy because, while you are divorcing, he is excited about the prospect of a different life. he's probably wanted a divorce for a long time. he doesn't feel burdened by maintaining a facade of a happy marriage and home life. he probably does care about the children, and the effects this will have on them, but the truth is, he's already grieved the demise of your marriage. he's ready to move past this part of his life

This is merely speculation but I wonder if the marriage happened in the first place because children were involved...you know the "Take responsibility for your actions" bull shyt. If a man does that and marries the mother of his child because either he was careless, you were careless, or lied and said you were on the pill or poked holes in the condom, then he will most likely be resentful towards you and callous as a result towards you and the kids.
