Guilt of breaking up a family

[ThirtyOneGoingonFifteen]

I am on the verge of leaving my husband. I've tried and tried but I no longer love him. He hasn't done anything wrong and desperately wants to make things work, I just don't have romantic feelings for him anymore.

So if I do leave, how do I handle the guilt over hurting him so much, taking his son away from him and taking a loving father away from his son? Anyone been through a similar situation?

"solidgold - I feel sorry for you- if you have never had sex with a man you love and who loves you back, then you are imo missing out on one of life's tender experiences."

You recognise that this is quite sad, and that to be able to say this is to miss out on something huge, and yet, there is still judgement heaped upon a woman who wants to leave a loveless relationship.

Not through choice, I am in these shoes. I've never really had the two. Not really. Maybe, for a while. But either it wasn't reciprocated, or reciprocated for long enough .... or turned out to be a toxic relationship.

But at least now that I'm single it's not impossible.
