When couples can't move past logistics to discuss what actually happened in their marriage

My husband and I have been talking about divorce for six months but we keep having the same surface-level conversations about logistics and splitting assets without ever actually saying what we each think went wrong or whether we still want to try. We're both scared to have the real conversation because it might make everything final.

What we've seen

The fear of finality can trap couples in endless procedural discussions that avoid the deeper questions of meaning, failure, and possibility.
