[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the wife. We've been married 3 1/2 years and have been unable to have children. It's been really rough, as infertility journeys go. On top of that, my husband has a bad temper and has exploded (seldom at me but usually near me) enough that I'm now conditioned to walk on eggshells. And he's having some (somewhat but not entirely justified) problems with my family, with whom I am very close. I feel incredibly lonely and I am (at this point clinically) depressed. Everything has come to a head in the last few days. He feels terrible that his behavior has left me feeling uncomfortable in my own home and says he'll move out if that's what I want. We also have a vacation planed for next week and I'm not sure if I should cancel it. He's ambivalent - he's not sure we'll enjoy ourselves if we do go.

I don't necessarily want to end our marriage, but after all that's happened I feel like I can't breathe or see straight and I would like a month or two to be on my own. As I told him, I feel like I'm underwater, and everything is blurry and muffled, and I can't tell up from down. Maybe I do want to divorce but I'm afraid of being alone - I'm almost 41 and I'm afraid I'll never have another relationship. Maybe I do still love him enough and I'll realize that I don't want to live without him.

Am I out of line? Am I being selfish or [b]foolish[/b]? Please, someone who has been there, help me decide what to do for now.[/quote]

Yes. Life it too short. If you even have to ask...[/quote]
