No that feeling

"Just leave" as if all you have to do is divide things up and amicably walk away. Who really believes that this is the easy fix? It's something nice to say without much behind it. NO ONE breaks up a marriage that way. There are other circumstances aside from money or children. How many women in their late 40's has little kids anyway?

@newday71 I think so too. It's not a matter saying "later gator" and onto a happy life. That isn't guaranteed.
I have been in process of leaving my situation through bettering myself mentally and physically. The time will come when I go, but that's what it is...a process. :)
Plus, our attitudes towards the marriage isn't going to be the same as our partners. There is no guarantee the other will happily agree to split ways, divide assets and smile where sharing a cup of tea. lol.

@ravenwind43 Thanks :) Just knowing there are others out there who understand makes a difference.

@newday71 Having been through marriage and divorce more than once, I agree it isn't that easy and yes, if you have thought through a future that includes divorce and make plans to that outcome, then it's one foot in front of the other. It is still hard and draining-ask me how I know. It is always a surprise to the other half that when you tell them their world is about to implode they invariably don't see it coming and cannot comprehend the grief they're about to experience isn't reciprocated. You've already done your grieving a long time ago and now are angry and indifferent to their despair.

Been there, done that, and while some say just leave, I know it's not that easy... not at all. It took years to weave the many faceted web that you find now confines you in such a bleak partnership. I totally understand. It is though, if you ahve done all you can, something you may want to consider and plan on. Like I said, I know it's hard on many levels - hopefully you ahve at least one or two friends you can talk with.

Newday, so, you should have a good talk with your partner and discuss parting your goods and heading out on separate paths... on good congenial terms, particularly if you have kids together. Life is short... I think it wise to be a master of your own destiny and step forward into a more hopeful situation.

Sometimes, the energy to overcome that feeling and all the emotional turmoil that comes with trying to overcome the situation that presents those feelings seems so overwhelming. We simply chose to accept the devil we know rather than engage with the one we don't know.

I'd be hard pressed to find something more depressing.😐

He needs a quick kick to get it in gear?

It sounds like a miserable situation. Perhaps you might develop the confidence to wear more feminine clothing, show off your curves a little, see how your husband reacts to all the approving male glances you are sure to get. Or maybe you just need someone else.

The clue is in your sentence what to consider doing....
JavaJoe · 51-55, M
I think that would be pretty ultra-depressing
