Trapped

[benefoots]

DH and I haven't been getting on for a long time.
Seems to be no love, respect for each other. No sex for over a year.
Both of us really unhappy. We have 2 children 12 and 10.
I just feel so trapped. I am a Sahm, no real qualifications.
We have a fairly big mortgage but some equity in the house.
I feel if we were to slipt up it would ruin our children's lives. He refuses to move out.
If we sold our house I couldn't afford to buy or even rent in this area. Which would mean children changing schools. They are both so happy where they are it would break their hearts.
I couldn't afford to support them. I have nobody to talk to.
I don't know what to do. I'm so unhappy and my children see me crying alot.
But they are my world and I would hate to disrupt their lives so much.
Anyone been in this situation? Is there a way out?
Thank you for reading

Looks like osteopath training is very flexible. And starts at many levels, foundation up to degree and beyond...

What's stopping you?

And the course is 4-5 yrs. not that long in the scheme of things.

Mellon, your mum sounds amazing.

OP, you could be looking at another 45 years of life. Go out and grab it!

I'm your age and I did an access course with the OU and am now doing a degree - I don't think I am too old to retrain and pursue a new career and nor are you.

And a good solicitor will advise you. Just because your husband refuses to budge doesn't mean he is right.

I'm not much younger than you OP and I've not worked for a number of years. I can't go back yo what I used to to do so I've made an appointment with the local college to talk to them about retraining in something new. As someone else said you have 20 plus years of a career in front of you! Go for it!!
