I want a divorce

I have decided I’m done. I just can’t anymore. After 12 years married and 15 years together and knowing each other for over 20 years. And I’ve already had one divorce in my early 20s. I’m just a failure. And I won’t even do this until my kids are adults because I know it will still hurt them as adults but I won’t take away the last few years of childhood from them so I have to suck it up and pretend to be happy. And don’t worry we don’t fight in front of them and when we do fight we are very silent so the kids think all is well and it will stay that way. We are just growing farther apart in all aspects lately and I don’t even want to be around him. Im really upset so I’m not really looking for advice or anything like that I’m just venting and here is a great place to do that. I’m just sooo done and honestly if he wants to be honest with himself I think he is too.

Do what is best for you.

@QCDog2659 Thank you. I hate being selfish and thinking about what is "best for me" but I really don't know how much more I can drag this out for.

@QCDog2659 it's unfortunate that this woman is stuck in an unhappy marriage for the sake of her children, I'm surprised that the children haven't pickup on the fact that their parents aren't happy being married to each other.

@SWfan They haven't picked up on it. They would ask me because we are very close and they have never mentioned it or given it a thought. THIS is what is best for them and the choice I am making as their mom.

@tiltawhirl do what you have to do, life's too short to not be happy.

@QCDog2659 and women wonder why men no longer want to get married, think about it men get screwed over royally when it comes to divorce.

@SWfan tell me how would he get screwed over? i am waiting until the kids are grown. he won't be paying me a penny. we own nothing together. and my ex-husband has not paid me a penny since the divorce either.
SWfan · 41-45, M
@tiltawhirl there are exceptions such as you and your husband, there's no joint property so that's one less thing to deal with.

@SWfan I do see how it could be an issue for others but yes in our situation he will be a free bird. I am not a fan of screwing someone over either.

@tiltawhirl my hat's off to you for not being a fan of screwing someone over.
