My husband and I were happily married – as a mixed couple, we had fought for our love, so we had no doubt how crazy we were about each other.

But then we had infertility issues. We couldn’t speak about it healthily. Fortunately, we eventually had kids, which brought a lot of joy but didn’t take away our problems before the children came.

We disagreed about most things, and felt criticized by each other. I felt unloved, unhappy, lonely, and frustrated on many levels, and I didn’t trust him any more. We had grown apart, and our core values were not the same anymore....
