Things have been bad for a while. I’ve been in the “leaving” frame of mind for 6 months now. I just can’t be married anymore.

Everything else is good in my life. People like me. I’m a nice person. At home, I’m walking on eggshells, not to set him off.

Sorry for not coming back at the time…
Thank you for all your kind comments.

I’m trying to live peacefully, for me & DS.
But, I am slowly building towards leaving.

I’m in the same boat. I have one daughter. Just have no idea how to actually leave, feel so trapped. There’s no abuse but I am walking on egg shells. Wishing you lots of luck.

Hope you can find the strength and the right time. My household can be a bit “treading on eggshells” and we are building towards separation. He blames me which does not matter at this point. I know that his temper, his lack of accountability and his way of reacting to setbacks and difficulties in our marriage is what has led us here. I will be relieved as will the kids when he is gone but right now it’s tough. Hold on, talk to people in real life or here and write stuff down about how it feels when you are tense and anxious when there should be no reason to be so you can look back in it if you have a wobble.
