For lots of reasons not relevant to this question, I’ve decided to leave my husband.
But I want to do it with compassion and to be as kind, but firm IYSWIM as possible.
It has been brewing for many, many years. We basically got married too young and aren’t particularly suited.
There is someone else. We haven’t slept together and I want to make sure I’m single when it happens. But he’s not why I’m leaving. He’s the catalyst.
So, how do I do it? How much do I tell my husband? How much do I hold back for his own good? I want to avoid listing a whole catalogue of reasons why I’m not in love with him, but obviously he’ll have questions.
We’ll be living the same house for some time too. And we have young children.
