My husband and I divorced because of differing political beliefs. I still love him, but we want different futures.

• After nearly four years of marriage, my husband and I started having political arguments.
• We also realized we wanted different things for our futures, so we got divorced in our 50s.
• I will always love him, and he is still my friend, but we can no longer be together.

When my now ex-husband and I decided to divorce, it was just past our 25th anniversary. We had been together for 11 years before getting married, so we had been a couple for 36 years.
