[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The women's group at my church raved about this article and maybe it will bring you comfort:

That said... There are worse things for kids than a divorce. A mother who feels victimized and helpless because her husband wants out is not going to be able to help her children see their self-worth is not based on being loved.[/quote]

OP here. Thanks for the link to the article. I think if I tried what the author did for 6 long months, I would have no self-esteem left.

Like the author's husband, mine is also probably going through some sort of mid-life crisis. In any case he is behaving like a kid and not thinking about his commitment to the family/kids.

I still think that we could have a nice future together. But I'm not sure how to get him to value me again. I am not older, worse-looking or meaner than the many other women whose husbands stand by them. He says that he is frustrated because we don't manage to save much money, despite his high income. We have paid back our substantial college loans and have a mortgage for a VERY modest home. But in another geographic area we would pay the same amount of money for an admittedly somewhat nicer home, so I doubt that we would be better off somewhere else. Despite this, he still wants me to stay at home.[/quote]

Would he be open to a reboot somewhere outside the DC area?[/quote]
