Wow Nic ~ Not much else I can add after all of this. I like you didn't have the "perfect" marriage. Yeah we had some good times but we had plenty of bad times too. You have been standing longer than I have and you follow my thread so you know where I am at right now.
I feel like I am done standing for a marriage that wasn't that great. Maybe h is right, maybe we both deserve more. I hate to "give up". I don't want to fail. I want to hold it together for my kids. I know h and I could be happy together but I can't force him to be with me. Every situation is different though so you need to take in the advice you are given but use what is right for you and your situation.
No one ever said life was easy huh?!
Hugs sweetie!!!
