[quote=Anonymous]I was in your place for a few years until I found out about his cheating and lying. Even then, it still took me a couple of years of keeping up the facade of a marriage before I was able to pull the plug, because of the kids. Eventually, I got to the point where I was so miserable that I couldn't be the mother I wanted to be. At that point I knew that keeping it up "for the kids" was counterproductive.

After a few months on my own, I often feel very lonely and have had some very emotionally rough times. But being lonely in a dead marriage for years was a special kind of awful. At least now I feel like a weight has been lifted and I can see some hope of moving forward and things getting better eventually.

We did couples counseling before I knew of the cheating and it helped some. Without the infidelity, the marriage may have survived in somewhat decent shape for longer. You may want to consider counseling and making efforts to get closer again. It might work if there is no irremediable issue like infidelity, abuse, substance abuse.

Good luck. It's a hard place to be.[/quote]
