Hi.
I have been with my husband for going on 20 years. We have one child from a previous relationship, now 17 and 2 children together.
I feel that we have completely outgrown each other and I am starting to find him unbearable. We spend no time doing anything at all together as I gave up initiating it a few years ago. We basically co-exist in a parenting relationship.
I honestly think we bring out rhe worst in each other and although our sex life is ok, there is no friendship there. I feel that we are now starting to become bitter towards each other too.
So why don't I leave? The children adore him and he has a great relationship with them. The youngest in particular (5) wpuld be so very upset not to have us both at home. I also feel so overwhelmed by the actual logistics. Our home needs lots of work (another big issue between us)
Our families would be so upset also. Which makes me just plod on.
Should I suck it up? Or can it only end in misery for all? I feel so tired and engaging less and less at home now.
Thanks for reading. Any advice is appreciated.
