Leaving oh

When did you know it was time to leave ?
2 dcs 12 & 8. We've been together 15 years, he had an affair 8 years ago we obviously gave it another go.... he's a brilliant father, but our relationship is pretty dire 😫. We don't argue, the communication isn't there and we've grown apart, I think if it wasn't for the kids we wouldn't be together? How do you gather the strength and address the situation with someone who doesn't want to communicate or can't?.

Why obviously? That would've been the point I'd have chucked him out!

Not surprised you want out after that. Just sit him down and tell him you want a divorce, he can either cooperate with you or you can just visit a solicitor, find out what is likely to happen (get all your financial stuff in order to take etc) and file the papers - you don't need his permission!

Gosh, you’ve given him 8 years more that I would have !
Get your ducks in a row before you tell him.
