[quote=Anonymous]NP here.  I'm about 8 months into the divorce process, and I can tell you in no uncertain terms that divorce isn't always. A key to happiness.  You will have new sets of problems.  Less money.  You may need to move.  You get your kids less often.  Your kids will deal with emotional trauma, and possibly anger and rage as a result.  Their schoolwork may suffer.  Once they are older, they may choose to live with their father, and often time judges will let older kids have their say.

Dating with kids is tough.  Even if you find someone, blended families are a million times more challenging.  assuming your DH remarries, your kids will spend holidays with step relatives who don't care about them, and your kids are old enough to know it.

Your future step children may hate you.  Your future beau may have an ex from hell.

I just point this out because it isn't like you are picking between your "meh" life and happiness.

It sounds to me like you are expecting your husband to make you happy.  Happiness is a choice.  Wherever you go, there you are.  You need to be a happy person.

Marriage with kids is hard.  Hard, hard, hard.  It sucks the lives from many marriages.  Some people buckle down and push through.  Some have affairs.  Some leave.

At the end of the day, you need to be responsible for your own emotions and stop expecting someone else to make you happy. [/quote]
