[quote=Anonymous]Hi there,

I haven't read everything but here is my advice:

I am also 42 and I have two children. I live in France so my situation is not culturally comparable to yours but the facts are. I am happy. My kids are ahppy. Divorce is not the end of the world, either for you or for your children. Yes, money is tighter but we have what we need. The children's father will and should also help with their financial well-being. This is not your sole responsibility. Money is not the most important ingredient for happiness. My kids are happier now than they would have been if their father and I had stayed together and had been unhappy together.

If you can honestly say that you have done everything you can to heal your marriage and that it hasn't worked, then leave. If you don't have what you need financially, change your job. Get out there, get going on moving your life in the direction you want it to go. No, you may not find a partner for a while. Is that so bad? Do it alone. Why? Because you can. Be happy alone for a while and when you do meet someone - because you will - it may or may not last but you'll know that you chose to be with them because you wanted to and not because you felt that you had to (financially or emotionally). Gather your friends around, tell your husband that you are unhappy and want a divorce, and leave. Hold your head up high. 
Good luck!
