Do I stay or do I go

Hi
Last week I told my husband i wasn't in love with him anymore and that I wanted to split up.
He was really upset and didn't want to accept it, It was hard to see him so upset. Part of the reason I feel I have drifted away from him is his temper, he has never hit me or our kids but there has been times when I find myself thinking his reactions to situations or just his behaviour generally isn't normal, as well as the fact I just simply think the relationship has just run its course. I have agreed to marriage counselling even though I know in my heart it won't change the way I feel deep down. He keeps trying really hard to change my feekings( which is annoying me a little, like always trying to kiss me etc)
Am I wrong to want to be on my own and separate from my marriage because I don't love him and I want more from a relationship in terms of compatibility, or do I stay because he adores me and would never lay a hand on me, and we have a good life together generally. Deep down I feel like I need to be on my own x

I think you need to make a plan; you're giving very mixed signals to your family and don't seem to have decided what you want before you made this big announcement. Perhaps try counselling to give this a chance to work. By all means move out and have space on your own but is it really worth giving up a good marriage because you have stopped communicating?

I’m really confused by @ginswingers post. It seems like you are reading a different OP.

She says she wants to leave him because she doesn't love him any more and a big factor is his temper.

Where does she say about “ mixed signals “ or thats its a good marriage but they have stopped communicating ?

You do not love him, he has problems with his anger and you feel the relationship has just run its course. I think you have left the relationship in every way bar physically. You are in no way wrong to want to be by yourself and to want more. If you feel counselling would help then by all means give it a try, but only you know if this would. You have a very tough decision to make OP and I wish you the all the best in making the right one for you.
