You are correct about the kids. Best part they figure out real quick who the mentally stable one is after the relationship ends. My ex has more drama than the Kardashians since our divorce 7 years ago. They would live with me if they could but the ex will not allow that. She needs that support check every 2 weeks. Lol

Getting divorced was the shittiest thing I've ever gone through. It was probably exacerbated by not being a mutual thing, so I felt super guilty on top of the normal pain.

That said, I don't regret it at all. It was absolutely the right decision for me.

I'll tell you this op....if you aren't satisfying her emotional needs...someone else is or will eventually

Fix it now or get out before you are blindsided by an affair

OP seemed to want to hear from people who are divorced, and hear how it's turned out. Most of the thread has been folks trying to talk him out of it.

None of us are immune from unhappiness. I find it a bit arrogant for someone to think they can give advice on something as significant as marriage based off of a small paragraph on the OT.

No marriage is the same. Sometimes working it out is best. Sometimes amicably parting ways is best. Only he knows.

Breesus is mostly right except for one thing. It is not that she doesn't want to sex him up, he has backed away from her.

He wants the 5'6", 112 pound girl he married. She has had three kids and is going about a buck ninety now. She sees all the Oprah shite telling her that he should be attracted to her no matter what.

She decided to look around for some loving and found out that 190 pounds is hard to give away. So she is upset with that. Then, when you ignore her some more her upset goes to anger.

She is going to continue to be mad until you begin tearing it up again.

If you have already decided to roll out, you need to get your advice from an attorney...a good one.

This is not a story, but I would suggest you put the kids best interest ahead of anything else. When I was in HS there was this girl who lived in my neighborhood. We were friends, but it was her and her younger sister. Soon after her sister graduated high school the parents divorced. The parents told them after the fact, that they actually decided a few years earlier to divorce, but they wanted to wait until both kids were graduated from HS.

Maybe consider something like that, but just don't create a toxic situation for the kids.

Went out with a couple of chicks at LSU that went there. Members of the St Louis "Blues" marching team. Must have been like some kinda cult, that's all they ever talked about

this is pretty close to what happened with me, but with a step parent who was basically my parent. It was miserable. I wish they'd have just divorced earlier.

I guess the situation would be different if you managed to not let the kids see you argue and whatnot. My parents (one step parent) tried that, but it was pretty obvious and there was a discernible difference in their overall happiness. I remember wondering if they just didn't give up because of me, and it made me feel bad.

Just my experience.

Here's my advice from a guy who's been married for 24 years and soon to be an empty nester.

Women are generally unhappy most of the time. They are rarely happy with their husband, kids, career and home. They hate work. It pisses them off and they always think they do more than you.

You have kids who need their father. If you're okay with some other guy raising them, walk away. If you're not then, you had better find a way to deal with this.

Here's my advice

1. Hire a housekeeper
2. Cook or go out more often
3. Use babysitting more often to go out on dates.
4. Buy her shite that pampers her. Spas and stuff like that.
5. Quit having kids. They're a pain in the arse.
6. Go on vacation more often.
7. Arrange for her to spend time with her girlfriends or sister or whatever she wants

Good luck.

Think about what it will be like to see your kids one day a week and every other weekend instead of coming home to them every night. Think about stories from your friends who divorced and ended up in world wars. Think about the finacial cost of the divorce itself, having to maintain 2 houses until yours sells, attorney's fees, etc. include the cost if she fights you.

Ask yourself if the OT 6.5s are worth all of this. Can you got to counseling, find a way to improve things and save your family? That would be the route I recommend. Good luck.
