me and husband have been married 13 years and have 3 children…. Our marriage hasn’t been in my opinion the healthiest … it’s been at times very toxic and I’m tired of fighting for it.

I am at the point I think separating is the best for everyone … this isn’t something I’m taking lightly at all…

It has been years and years of circles and back and back and forth …
Ive told my husband tonight and he’s begging me to reconsider …

This isn’t the first time we’ve been here, having this conversation…
I always give in and say I will try because I can’t stand hurting anyone but
we always end up back here …
we are here again … and I’m at the point I just can’t go on with these circles anymore …

This is the hardest most difficult thing I think ever had to do. I feel like I’m breaking.

Has anyone ever ended their marriage when their partner doesn’t want it to end?
how did you get through it without feeling like your breaking …

In order for your DH to see the toxicity in your relationship it may help to involve a third party. A relationship counsellor will facilitate each of you to express your point of view. When DH hears your feelings, and particularly that you feel so done with effort to make an unworkable marriage a happy one, he will understand things need to move forward.
Additionally a measured conversation with a third party will make ongoing financial/childcare arrangements less painful.
