To think this is not a typical relationship

So i’m about to divorce my dh. Need a reality check i think...
I find myself for the past 1.5 years spending evenings alone sipping drink in front of tv. Me and my dh don’t share evenings together. He does to bed and i’m here, alone, day in and out.
This surely is not a normal routine for happy couples?
Might sound a silly question and i think i know the answer. Just need a bit of validation i guess..

Don't you want to sort things out?

It could be fine if you liked it but you clearly don't so it's not. I think that you should like spending time together and it's a fundamental difficulty if one of you wants to go to bed at 9 and the other likes staying up until 1 am!

@Anordinarymum, I think i’m past sorting things out with him. I feel sorry for the kids though but for myself - no. I’m done.
I had a dream recently about us renewing our wedding vows and in my dream i was dreading it... sums it all up really.

My DH and I often watch different things on TV in the evening, we have different taste. We do plenty of other stuff together so it works for us. If you're unhappy then leave, if the evenings are symptomatic of a distance in your relationship then it's a problem, but what you do in your evenings dont necessarily mean you have a bad relationship
