After 23 years of marriage I have finally admitted to myself that I am desperately unhappy and told my husband that it's over. I have tried to leave him before, three times in fact, and each time he has convinced me that I should stay using all kinds of emotional tactics, I'm scared he will do this again. He's not a bad man he just wont let me go. He is 11 years older than me, I was 18 when we got together. I never had a life of my own and now I resent him deeply for that. I want out, my son is fully grown and I want to find out who I am. Am I being selfish? Should I stay for his sake?....I feel I have no-one to talk to...

I think if you are unhappy then you need to leave. I was married to my husband for 14 years and was unhappy for 11 of those but stayed for the children. I was honest with my husband about my feelings but I was scared regarding the impact upon the children so resigned myself to making the best of it. My husband left me and the children at Christmas once he found someone new and I was left picking up the pieces. My regret is that I didn't have the courage to leave sooner. It isn't easy but you do deserve to be happy x
