My husband wants a divorce and I don't know what to do

Vent/Rant/FML

We've been together almost 10 years and I know that going through with this would be the best decision for both of us, but I don't know how to let go.

In the last few years our views, especially political and religious, have gone so far in opposite direction that we can't even have conversations anymore. Everything turns into a fight, and we say awful things to each other and there just isn't any common ground for us to find anymore.

I know that we're only hurting each other at this point, but I'm so torn. How do you navigate this? How do you go through with it when you still love them, you still want to try, but you know nothing can change because it means change a fundamental part of who you are to appease some else?

I'm so lost. He hasn't been my best friend in a long time, but god do I miss when he was. I would give anything to have that back, but we're not those people anymore.
