[quote=Cassiopeia][quote=Anonymous]The reason we're still married is that we believe in the vows we took, and don't believe marriage is disposable. "For better or worse" means something. Plus, we have teenagers.[/quote]

I don't disagree with your desire to uphold your commitment.  But I do want to point out that contracts are broken all the time.  It results in a lawsuit, there's an argument, a disposition and then the matter is over.  The question really is how much of your personal happiness are you willing to give up in order to stick to the terms of an agreement you made 20 years ago?  I agree with the pp, that is all a therapist can help you with, figuring out how to be happy given the current state of affairs and assuming your husband will never change from his current behavior.

And I don't know what your home life is like, but if you're fighting all the time all you're teaching your teenagers is that marriage is misery and there's no way out.  Sorry to sound harsh but it's true.  [/quote]
