Want amicable divorce

I have been with my husband since 2010, married for 8 years.
I have compromised everything in our relationship. He withholds affection & sex - we have no intimacy at all. I am just a friend. None of my needs get met by him. I am very lonely…..
He does nothing around the house, or garden. I work 50 hour weeks and expected to do it all but I am not superwoman!!!!
I made it clear wanted children at start of relationship which he agreed to. We got pregnant but baby didn’t develop properly, he didn’t support me at all. Then he stopped all intimacy & sex. Turned out couple of years later wasn’t cut out for children! With no thought to allow me to make decisions about our relationship.
We are currently having marriage counselling, although he states not getting anything out of it so wants it to stop. Just about sums it up for me. We are done…..

There's no marriage there

Why bother with counselling

Please get out

Thanks

Cut your losses and leave, this is not a life, this is existing.

It doesn't sound like an an amicable marriage so I don't think an amicable divorce is on the cards unfortunately.

I agree, counselling isn't what you need for this 'relationship'. You just need to leave it whatever that looks like. You'll be far happier in the long run!
