I want to leave my husband after 27 years.

[FGray]

To be honest I have never been happy and have tried to leave in the past. I know it must sound crazy that I have stayed with him for 27 years. He is impossible to talk to, just lives in a world of his own, he spends any money he has on himself. I have to do everything and pay for everything. I've been in debt because of this. No one believes me when I say I can't discuss anything with him but that is exactly how it is, he simply ignores me. I've told him I am unhappy and want to seperate, he pays no attention at all, he just doesn't care.
We have two adult daughters and they know I am unhappy but don't really offer any support. That is one of the problems that I have no support, no family that can help. My mum is old and living in sheltered housing and my dad died a long time ago. I have a sister but we are not close and she wouldn't be interested.
I don't know what to do but can't imagine anything worse than spending the rest of my life with him.

I left after 27 years, did the divorce online on unreasonable behaviour. Split assets 50/50, kept our own debts. He was dragging me down with him financially, and I could picture no future with him in which we would both be happy. Had no support in the process, just kept my head down to get it done, but have since found support in many surprising places. It’s awesome living my own life, independent and free. Icing on the cake for me: a friend of my DD told her that she (the friend) found me inspirational. You can do and be anything you want OP, but you have to shed that dead weight.

I left after 23 years , i never thought my ex liked me very much but i left after he told i was the love of his life , he just expected me to know it but never showed any affection towards me . Our finances were kept separate as he always told me i would spend it all so all my money went on the kids and shopping and his went on himself , he earnt 4 times as much as me .
I finally realised i would be better on my own and i was . I have been without him for 10 years now and have never looked back . You can do it and there is life as a single woman . The liberation you feel is amazing
