Good evening, I know that sometimes we discuss here if a woman should leave quite good relationship with kids if she's not in love with her husband, usually the answer is. "Leave, be happy, kids will adapt and they will want u to be happy" however is it really the best thing to do?
I came across a thread about the subject above where women for the first time were advising to stay and put children's needs first etc.
I cant find this thread anymore :/
Anyway....
I'm 30 year old, 2 toddler sons, husband of 8 years, I love him and feel comfortable with him but no longer in love with him.
We have been through shit in our relationship, we used to argue and fight a lot, nasty stuff, many times I thought of leaving, but as a sahm was too scared to do it. Now boys r tiny big bigger, my husband got much better, but I remember all the nasty stuff from the past and how he wasnt there for me when the boys were tiny... Now I want to go back to work, meet friends , go to theatre, dance around living room like a mad woman with my boys, I have somehow grown as a woman. I want to live!
I'm thinking about leaving dh but what would be the reason now? He's so good now :/ I know I sound selfish, just wanted to hear your opinion ladies... x
