Finding it difficult to walk away from marriage

Hi All,

I'm at that point in my life were I know that my marriage needs to end as I don't want to spend the next decade of my life unhappy.

To give abit of background, DH and I have been married for 6 years, together 10 years, been together since our early 20s, two DCs. There was so many red flags in the begining, messages to other women, dating sites etc but I pushed them to the side, believed him when he said it was nothing, a mistake etc. Fast forward 10 years and those red flags are still there and an emotional fair to go with it.

I cannot carry on this way and know that myself and my children deserve so much better than this and I tried to have the inevitable discussion a few days ago and I had the suicidal thoughts line thrown at me and he changed the subject to his mental health and I just sat there an allowed it, once again putting other people before myself.

Now I just can't find the words to start that conversation back up again.

Why can't I be strong enough and it be as easy as it sounds.

I just wanted to tell you I’m in a similar place to you. You can do it - there’s no good reason to stay with someone who doesn’t deserve you Flowers
