The last straw!

So after being in an emotionless, sexual marriage for the past 7 years (no hugs, kisses, nothing) and putting separation and divorce off because I was coming up with every excuse to avoid it, I finally have plucked up the courage to see a solicitor and I have an appointment next week!
The final straw was yesterday, when another car hit mine (not my fault) and I had to sort out everything on my own. He couldn’t even ask me if I was ok.
Please wish me luck and tell me I’m doing the right thing!

Sexless not sexual!

You are doing the right thing. You will both be free to move on.

Of course you are doing the right thing. Well done on taking this step Flowers for you. Noone, male or female, should trudge on in a loveless, sexless marriage. Life is too short.

You are doing the right thing. I did this a bit over 6 months ago, and I haven't regretted it for a second. We are all so much happier, and whilst it has been hard at times, it has all worked out for the best.

The last straw for me was that the kids and I happened upon an accident. The poor guy had had a heart attack at the wheel, and despite the best efforts of myself and other passers-by, he died right there in front of us. Obviously I was too traumatised to continue to the shop, where I had been going to buy a specific item. When I told my ex what had happened, he didn't ask if the kids and I were okay, but rather had I managed to get to the shop. I knew there and then that there was just no point in trying to make it work. Our marriage was dead.

Good luck!

Well done - your life will improve immeasurably without him in it.

Good luck and hope it all goes quickly and smoothly Flowers

Good luck. If you’ve made the choice, you are doing the right thing. You can move on and find someone who makes you happy.
