Has anyone ever just felt like walking away and starting all over again ? I've been married 19 years and although I respect my wife I haven't been in love with her for years. I've stuck it out this long because we live in a small town with a very good school district and I really didn't want to uproot my kids at this point in time since my daughter is in her senior year. And since my wife couldn't afford this place on her own she'd have no choice but to move. I keep telling myself that I only have six months to go but I'm not sure if I can do it. Although I'm sure this may sound as if I'm being selfish to some but I'm only doing what I think is right. In my mind I'm taking the best interest in my kids life's and then I can move on with mine. I don't even look forward to coming home from work anymore. So guess I will just stick it out a few more months...after all I've made it this far.
I feel like walking away and starting over right now myself. Different reasons, same lost empty feeling I assume. I'm sorry your relationship ended up that way, it's sad for everyone in your family, but you are a person too and should be able to live happily.
Dang! I couldve wrote this post. Instead of 6 months I have around 4 years. THen kids will be in college and house paid for. I'll leave it to her/them and half the savings and then move south and start a new life. Hang in there bro.
if you respect your wife, it's probably best to tell her that you are not happy with her. it could be that she has similar feelings, but hasn't told you maybe see a marriage counselor unilaterally. then see if you want to start talking to your wife about this while it might be nice if your marriage could be salvaged, that's not really the main reason for talking to a counselor. it's more about finding a way to end the marriage in a way that is respectful to her, minimizing the hardship on yourself, and hopefully being able to part on good terms hope that everything can work out for the best
