Bit of a ramble here, but im hoping that you can give me some perspective on my situation if you have / are separating or have separated parents
I haven't spoken to anyone about this, and other half has no idea I'm even thinking it as we never communicate, but I spend most of my time fantasising about life without him. However the only reason to split is that I just don't like him. Am I being unbelievably selfish to consider this as have 2 dc 6 and 3?
He's an ok father but is (imo) too strict and loses temper easily. He has never abused/intimidated me but is controlling. He does his share of childcare. Sex life non existent but thats as much down to me as him - I am completely uninterested. There has not been any affection in the relationship for years. I think he probably feels exactly the same way about me. Were it not for the dc we would have split about 5 years ago without a doubt.
Do we carry on as we are for the next 15 years for the sake of the children then split when they leave home?
I obviously have no idea what it is like to be a single parent. Am I completely deluded to think that I can do this?
Will splitting up damage my children more than I realise? Is it worse than having parents who are obviously not in love?
Any advice, criticism very much wanted. Thanks!
