Awww hun, I am so sorry you're in such a crappy relationship. There are other options you know. And surely it would benefit your kids more to see you both happy and apart than miserable and together? xxx

I left a 20 year marriage in June and truely believed the bad marriage was THE cause of my depression. No, it was being alone (which I am NOW and was for the most part of my marriage.) BUT, it was WORSE being in a house without respect from others than being alone in my own place. Still have kid issues (mine are 17 & 18 so it's not too much) but it's now a separate life. DON'T stay in a marriage for the kids. Listen to Dr. PHIL if you don't want to listen to ME. :)

yeah, please dont stay in marriage for the kids, my parents did that and it was a horrible life for all. on the other hand when my mom finally decided she'd had enough, she just ran away. there were still two left in the nest just young enough to be hurt and not understand y she left. they are still hurt by that 12 years later. so if you leave each other, try to do it on the up and up please.

If you are hanging on to your relationship because of the kids, it may not be the best thing to do.

Is he willing to try to work things out, or even acknowledge there's a problem?

My ex was a mental abuser and rapist. I left him and let me tell you it was awful, his whole family was near by and mine was 3000 miles away. He and his "clan", (as I call them) did everything to hurt me, take my kids and destroy me. Hence my current issues. But, honey, I'm still here, issues and all! BIG HUG for you.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
