Am I a bad mother to think about leaving?

My husband and I are going through a really bad phase of our lives. We have two children in their teens, who we have a great relationship with, we’ve been together 20 years and got on great but lately I’m bored to tears 😭
he doesn’t drink and hates me drinking too! We went away on a family holiday and he was moaning because I wanted more than one glass of wine.
I am so bored of him, we have nothing in common only the kids.
i really want to leave but I’m 45 and while I have no plans to meet another man, I feel so bad for my kids. I don’t know what to do.
besides being boring he is just so critical of everything I do. I never get a compliment but he’s the first one to pipe up if he thinks something doesn’t suit me.
also I’m broke so leaving a big mortgage is also a huge decision 😫🙂

It doesn’t actually sound like you get on great. Unless you mean that you got on great until recently? I wouldn’t get on well with a man who moaned at me for having a few glasses of wine on holiday, and liked to put me down about my physical appearance. Maybe it’s less a case of being bored to tears and more a case of being fed up with his shit. He doesn’t sound like good company.

Thanks for your reply, I guess it’s always been a case of me putting up with his shit, sadly!
