My DH is not horrible. He's very funny and bright and mostly very kind. Sometimes binge drinks and is not a nice drinker, can be a bit lazy, occasionally loses his temper. But nothing terrible. But I just don't feel like we're partners any more. we've been together 11yrs - since I was quite young (22). We have young children (2 and 4). Things have been up and down since the kids, really (although the kids themselves make me happier than I've ever been). But a year ago, I fell unexpectedly pregnant and had a termination, which - for me- was the wrong choice. It was horrible - I hated myself and him. We talked a lot and both worked hard and sort of got back on track - we don't argue or feel angry any more but I feel like the closeness has gone. I've suggested counselling a couple of times but he doesn't seem to take it seriously. When I think about us not being together the only thing that really makes me feel sad is the impact on the kids. And the fact that he's a lovely man who I know loves me and I hate the idea of hurting him. Just wondered if anyone had any thoughts/ advice?
