[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before my youngest left for college a year ago I dreaded being an empty nester. My husband is a good father and provider but we have really been no closer than roommates for the last ten or so years. We went through counseling a few years ago which helped clarify things but not much has changed. We both work and have different interests for how we use our free time and rarely spend time together. I had hoped that when we became empty nesters last year that we'd spend more time together but it hasn't happened. I don't believe he's been unfaithful and I haven't been. There is just no connection and I know my children see it. Divorce pains me because it's an [b]admittance of failure [/b]but I'm only 52 and seeing a life ahead of me that is a continuation of the one I'm living depresses me. It's not a terrible marriage, it's just not a marriage.[/quote]

Nope, it's not an admittance of failure.  You'd really rather be miserable and than admit that your marriage isn't fulfilling?[/quote]
