I made a stupid mistake. I was influenced by my single friends and family, and asked my husband for a divorce a year after we got married. We had problems right away and the feminist in me put my feet in cement and wouldn’t bend to some of the things my husband was asking of me as his wife.

I listened to people tell me not to cook for him, or do his laundry. I would come to be in PJs from head to toe instead of lingerie like he wanted. In the bigger scheme of things, he wasn’t asking for much. My friends were calling him controlling, chauvanistic, etc & I listened.

I went to church yesterday and the pastor was talking about roles and responsibilities in a marriage & I started crying. I realize that if my friends were so knowledgeable they wouldn’t all be single.

My husband begged me not to file for divorce & to try counseling. I didn’t listen. Now we have to go to court next month and I don’t want to divorce him. He was a good boyfriend/fiancee & I never gave him a chance to be a good husband. I tried to call him and text him yesterday. I left him a few messages saying that I really wanted to talk to him & it was important, but he hasn’t responded. That isn’t like him.

What can I do to stop this from a legal perspective? Can I stop the divorce without his consent?

Do you think I have any chance in hell of getting my husband back?
