Yeah my parents did that. IMO I wish they would have done it when I was younger. I moved out at 18 and by 19 they were split, never had anywhere to call home during breaks at college. The marriage was done before I was out of diapers.
Navigating adulthood and divorced parents is a weird thing.
ETA: the ‘norm’ for your kids living in a loveless home their entire life is probably going to set them up for failed marriages as well just fyi… but what do I know.

Lol. Therapy doesn’t do dic
Lol. It does. But both have to want it and it’s hard work at first.
OP commit a year to therapy. If she doesn’t go, do it for yourself. If things don’t work out, your therapist can help you through the divorce.
Don’t stay on the road you’re on now for 16 years. It will be bad for the entire family.

My advice, Fight for your marriage. You made a commitment to each other, don’t just check out. People get into ruts in life and marriage. Talk about the issues with your wife. Consider going to counseling together. What do you have to lose? It’d be a great example for your kids too.

Therapy is fine if you want to go talk or have a peaceful setting. Unfortunately everyone is biased and it generates more money for these therapists. It is even worse when it is one sided and the other isn’t there because then there is rapport and suggestions. JMO.

16 years until youngest kid turns 18…. Would be the best for the kids though. I’m a high earner and she’s a stay at home mom so divorce would ruin me financially to say the least
That would be a no for me to wait 16 years until the youngest kid turns 18. If your youngest was 15 maybe that would seem pretty doable.

Okay. Posted on 1/28/23 at 4:43 pm to GeneralLee
If the kid is 15-16 and you are living your own lives anyway?
Decent strategy. If 12 years old? frick that.

Cut the cord asap. The longer you wait the more pain, suffering, and financial loss.

shite 16 years is like 20% of a normal lifetime and probably some of your best years unless OP is Edwin Edwards with a 2 yr old. I wouldn't be willing to be unhappy for that long if I didn't think the marriage was salvageable

What if they end up killing each other and then the 6 year old is alone with the bodies until the grandmother gets there.
Here on out, she has to raise the damn kid in her 50s..a kid who will need therapy and possible sex change now all cause you wanted to be traditional and keep it at 1 Christmas instead of 2.

Therapy is cheaper than getting divorced for sure. My wife was a cheerful, happy person when we were dating but now after kids she’s sarcastic, anxiety filled, and depressing to be around. I just don’t see how that’s going to change back. Goal would be to build up to a 10 million net worth by time kids turn 18 so she can just take 5 million and I can go enjoy the rest of my life and still have a big enough nest egg to enjoy a comfortable retirement.
You're better off Googling "how to dispose of a [insert wife's weight] body"

You think your kid won't know you want to divorce their mom?
Seriously, Clark?

Bro. Kids are tough. How about listening to her needs and helping her out. A housekeeper can help significantly

Lotta divorce threads lately
I imagine not uncommon after the holidays. A lot of folks roll with a “just make it through the holidays” mentality.
For OP, don’t put your kids through that if you are both ready for a divorce.

I don’t understand this thought process.
She already has half your shite. You are already supporting your kids.
If you want to leave, you should leave.
