Quote: But how can you make a decision that will separate the family?
I hate to say this, but your family is already separated. You just happen to live in the same house. Which isn't bad for your girls, but you are dying a slow and painful death. Do you want your girls to grow up seeing you like that?
I might not be so hardlined about this if it had only been a few months... jeese, even a year. But FOUR?!
Have you ever suspected him of an affair?
I just think you need to stand up for yourself. I think it's great he's going to counseling, that's a plus... but does he always go? Or just periodically? Does he acknowledge that there is a RADICAL problem going on with your marriage?
I don't know, S. I'm pretty much a firm believer in keeping marriages together, especially when kids are involved. But I think there is something really bizarre going on over at your place, and I don't know that anything short of you walking out is going to rattle his cage.
