Hi Toast12,
23 years is a long time!
You mentioned that you have a six month deadline once your youngest goes to school, I can only assume that you're feeling like you've stayed in the marriage because of your children? How many kiddos do you have?
Is there a lot of conflict going on? What are some of the issues that you are facing?
Have you read any of the LESSONS yet(see them... .
here)?
It's a lot of information, I know. I also think it helps when making any difficult relationship decision (stay or go), it's important to involve your emotions but to also try and step outside the emotions too, so you are able to have a balanced view. You're definitely in the right place to gain a better understanding of certain behaviors when it comes to your husband and you'll find the more you learn, the better equipped you'll be in making this kind of decision for your family. Have you considered marital therapy at all?
I'm so glad you found us. Welcome to our family.
