I Live In a Loveless Marriage
Is there a more depressing feeling than feeling like you have so much to give and everyday looking at a face that's completely disinterested?

"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.

@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.
