by email right now. There's no drama, it's all very civilised. Don't know if I feel calm or if I've detached from the situation.
14 years together and two DC. We are imploding under the stress and mundanity of everyday life (with zero help). We haven't had sex in two years (mostly down to me - there's a long story here, don't want to drip feed but also don't want to write War and Peace length OP and/or make myself identifiable). Love each other, get on great most of the time, parent very well together. Not madly in love, maybe not "in love" at all. I used to get jealous occasionally, now I feel apathetic.
We are snapping at each other and DD saw some of it (DP being an arse) at the weekend. I'm not ok with that.
We can (just about) afford two properties. I am torn between pragmatically thinking that we would both be happier and consequently better parents apart and then feeling awful for considering putting my DCs through the trauma of a split when things aren't that bad.
Has anyone been through a drama-free split? If not, some tea and manly pats on the back would also be welcome.
