Coming to terms with the fact that my marriage was a failure was devastating and very difficult. I blamed myself for a lot of things. It took me a very long time to get over it.

I hate failure and that divorce was a Number One failure in my eyes. It was the worst period of my life. Neither Desi nor I have been the same since, physically or mentally.

Yes, I have 'failed' at marriage - a lot.

Marriage destroyed my relationship with two wonderful men.

The divorce was the toughest thing in my life. It still hurts.

I was so devastated by my second divorce that I had a nervous breakdown.

I went through a long period of time in that marriage when I didn't believe anything was my fault. I had to face what my part was, and only because of that difficult work was I able to trust a man again.

I've often thought if I didn't make my marriage work, I would have failed at my one true shot at happiness.

The mere thought of divorce terrified me. To me, divorce symbolized failure.

I was just so lucky to have a wonderful life after a tough marriage.
