"I honestly tried to convince my heart to hate you for a while. It didn’t take... You are too easy to love."

Years ago, a newly divorced Gerald Rogers took to Facebook to reflect on what he wishes he would have known before it was too late. He admits there were a lot of things he could have done differently to save his marriage, and he openly shared the self-effacing letter in the most humble and real way.

"It's my ex-wife's birthday today so I got up early and brought flowers and cards and a gift over for the kids to give her and helped them make her breakfast."

"After losing a woman that I loved, and a marriage of almost 16 years, here’s the advice I wish I would have had…"

"He said it like turning off love and ending a marriage was as easy as changing the color pattern of the living room. Perhaps easier."

"He showed up with moving boxes. He showed up with ice cream. And he showed up with his very own broken heart."

"When I got pregnant, we believed we should get married because as ‘Christians’ it was the thing to do."

"It seems so unreasonable when you put it that way: My wife left me because sometimes I leave dishes by the sink. It makes her seem ridiculous; and makes me seem like a victim of unfair expectations."
