Feel stuck…

Been married for over 10 years with 2 high school
children. For the past couple of years things have changed with DH. We have drifted apart, basically
live two different lives and he even sleeps downstairs now. He would be quite happy to carry on living like this. I am thinking I’m wasting my life. I’m not happy. He is a really nice man and I don’t want to upset him or make life hard but I just don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t want to upset the children too.

Have you talked to him about it?

The only reason you're stuck is because you're not willing to do anything about it.

Talk to him, find out if he wants to try to fix things. If he does, then try. If he doesn't, then start looking into separation and divorce.

Your kids will be better off with two parents who are happy, whether they live together or in different houses.
