Can’t stand my family, too old to start over

[Anonymous]

We still gave 2 teens home. I lost respect for my husband on so many levels over the years but after my kids leave for college (IF they leave) I can’t see myself leaving my husband. Anyone else feel this dome?

Why can’t you divorce?

What are you doing to change thigns?

Focus on yourself. Do you need a reset to feel more empowered at work? What do you enjoy outside the home that you haven’t been taking time for? Make time for that. You need to get a mindset that you deserve to be happy. If family isn’t providing that, go find it. You are worth it!

Leave if you don’t respect the person you are living with.

And are depressed.

Or get counseling, something.

You have a long road ahead of you and your plan is not promising.

Yes, I can see leaving also. I think there are many of us.

It sounds like you think it would be easier to stay in a poor marriage than leave and start over. That's a choice you'll have to make. I can't imagine myself staying with someone I don't respect. I'd rather be true to myself and travel the world alone. Or, live with a best friend, like that show Grace & Frankie.

Have you considered joining the circus

Typical midlife crisis with the teen situation and the husband. BTDT. We're in a happier place now, but one day two years ago I just walked out and checked myself into a hotel room for the night.

Try to find healthy ways to stay sane, OP. Get a physical and bloodwork. Prioritize sleep. Take a multivitamin. Maybe you'll end up divorced, maybe not, but right now it's one foot in front of the other.

I would love to join a traveling circus of middle aged women on hiatus from their lives or starting new ones. Wouldn’t that be fun? What kinds of acts could we have?
