Be brave and be strong and decide you are what's important.  Your children will benefit so much more if you are truly happy.  I fear the unknown too ,as I enter my divorce, but know that in the end you will be so much stronger.

I know this is hard. I admire you for putting your kids first but I agree with "shopper" this is not the loving, caring relationship you want your kids to think marriage is all about. You want them to see mommy and daddy happy and holding hands. You need to think of yourself now ... it is your time. Your kids will not be as shocked as you think. How old are they? The "divorce process" should not be too lengthy if you and your husband both agree it is over. I am sure it will not be easy but well worth it. Hang in there!

Yes you need to go ahead and start the process. It seems overwhelming because it is the fear of the unknown. But people do it everyday you just need to get started and you will feel better when you start making progress. You might also be surprised how "not surprised" your kids might even be. Do you want your kids to grow up thinking this is what they want their marriage to be?

Thank ou for writing back everyone. I Think you're right. I can't live like this. Just can't Imagine starting this entire divorce thing. We have everything under one name. All of our bill and savings and our house and cars and everything. It seems so impossible to even start.
