1. Would you be happier? For me the answer is somewhat. I have more peace and I'm no longer walking around in turmoil worried if and when I will discover I am being cheated on again. It does get lonely at times, and its odd having to do things as a singleton that I used to do as a couple. I miss the companionship, but I will take my time and be highly selective when I chose my next mate.

2. Would it ruin the kids? My youngest was 13 when I left and I think his experience has been the worst. I feel like my family is divided now, which it is, yet I do not regret leaving. Honestly, I can't speak on if they are "ruined" or not since the situation is still relatively new. Ask me in 5-10 years.

3. Will I be broke?  My finances are oddly much better now that it's just me handling my money. I found it much more difficult managing a two income household as opposed to one. I made substantially more and I received a significant promotion one year after I left. My ex husband struggles with finances. [b]I believe he is late on all of his bills.[/b]

4. Same arguments? [b]I don't speak to my ex, so no.[/b]

In all honesty my marriage was likely salvageable, but at what cost. I would not trade my current peace of mind for anything. If you have to stay in marriage counseling and continuously fight so hard for something to work, at some point you have to realize that a relationship on life support really is not a viable one. Pull the plug and let it die.[/quote]

So you don't speak to your ex, but you do know he is late on "all his bills".  [/quote]

Yep. For some reason he still uses my email address, so I regularly receive emails regarding pay day loans that he's taken out. Also, my kids have mentioned when his water/cable/electricity have been cut off. [/quote]
