Leaving my husband

Its been a long time coming. Whilst we both do love each other I need a break and i can't say if its just a break I need or a break up. We have been together 14 years and have 2 children. Our relationship has had more downs then ups. He cheated quite a few years ago and also had a social media relationship with an old school friend. Hes a good dad so the children seeing him will never be a problem and will never be used against him.
My problem is the huge guilt I feel. I feel I'm breaking up our family because I can't be bothered anymore. I need my space or I'm going to crack. I've very much changed since we met and feel we have become friends. I don't want to have sex with him at all and don't miss it and I think he can find someone more suited to him. Does this guilt get better?

I didn’t want to read and run.
I was in the same situation 7 years ago. I felt guilty that it was decision to move out and split the family up. My children spend 50:50 at their dads and my house. We are happier and everybody gets on for the sake of the kids. It can be done.
I’m happier now than I’ve ever been.
Please don’t spend the rest of your life resenting your life and hating your relathionship!
