Have been with dh many years.Have had ups and downs which have affected us and the sad feeling seems bigger than the happy bits- i guess the bad bits have been for longer than the good so that s how i associate our relationships feeling wise.When thing go well we seem to retun to old hurts ,unsecurities etc and no matter how we try we end up back at square one.We have just had exellent concelling with a good therapist.Troble is if I leave him the children will suffer - we will leave our home and id feel so so guilty .hes basically a lovely man just dont love him.feel should keep trying !!

Or free him and you to find true love elsewhere? And divorce doesn't always mess kids up - handled right. I suppose you need to ask yourself what messages you're giving the kids by staying too?

What does HE say about you going?

Sorry to be naff, but what does your HEART say? Are the very molecules of your body screaming at the thought of forty more years with a man you don't love rather than one you do? Or will it be ok?

lincolnlass,

if you are happy/calm then your little ones will be content.

Do what is best for you and your little ones. Please don't let this situation drag on and on. Seems like you can talk to your other half.

Sorry I can't advise you better, but I wish you all the best
