I love my husband, but have been questioning whether we should remain married as it is affecting my sanity. Also, considering legal separation but living together until he gets on his feet. Wonder if we divorced we'd end up one of those couples that remarried years later.

We've been together 10 years, he's my best friend yet I don't trust him like i once did. He uses alcohol to cope with mental health problems and is unemployed, but he is starting to looking for work.

I want him to get better, but not at the expense of my own mental health. Anyone else been in a similar situation?

(Type font size is all over the place from where I edited, yet not sure how to fix this as using mobile app).

I have been with my husband 13years married 5.we have split up multiple times, each time we got back together. This has been emotially draining and made me ill. We have trust issues. Currently we aren't together.

Sorry to hear that, ugh. My hope was that some time apart would enable us both to get our own lives sorted. Yet wouldn't want to split up and then get back together only to split up again, that would be draining.

Do you have a therapist?
