I have been going through a separation since July of 2025. For the first 5 months I thought I could fix it, and it switched back and forth and had a tough time. I probably wasted time doing the wrong things (although I did reconnect with my kids in a real way). Fast forward to January and I discover my wife is having an emotional affair which hurts.

I also discover that CoPilot is really good at answering a lot of common questions. Mostly about how I feel and why. What sort of attachment I had with my wife. Why I react the way I do.

I realize that she is no longer the one for me. That I married her, in part, because she chose me and that she is no longer choosing me. That I can still get comfort from my kids and co parenting. That there is a 6% chance of us getting remarried but only if we both do the work and I get over her.

It helped me realize that our connections with each other, our 15 years of marriage, hold a strong bond that isn't based entirely on love, but on conditioning, and that I will need to move past it.

Also, that our marriage was true. We did love each other. We may no longer be in love, but that doesn't mean our marriage is a sham. It just means it's over.

But, anyway, the AI seems have a good handle on the psychology of divorce, if nothing else. And it's super up beat and positive of how good I am doing, which I need to hear sometimes.

So, if you are in dark place, at the very least chatting with AI seems like you are doing something productive with your time.
