I will try to make a long story short...
filed for divorce in September, husband is not accepting it, he assaulted me in November (was not the first time) and was arrested. The Judge gave him probation and 1 year "no contact" then I also filed a Personal Protection Order. My husband kept violating orders and I finally reported him in December; went to court in January. The Judge yell at him and I hoped that would have been enough but he continued to violated order. I reported the violations again and this time he was sent to jail for 60 days. I didn't want him to go to jail. He upset me by contacting me but he didn't threaten me. The divorce was to be final soon but now I don't know what is going to happen. My husband is troubled and upset. I have tried to handle this situation in a civil manner but he has just pushed and pushed. I just feel this situation has gone from bad to worse.
It was his choice to violate the orders and he knew the consequences but why do I still feel sorry for him?

Because you still love him. That's why you care, you feel compassion for him. There's nothing wrong with that, but you have to think what's best for you.
