[quote=Anonymous]OP - I am in an almost identical situation.  Emotionally, financially, everything.  I am having a very difficult time allowing the "meh" relationship to continue.  I am also not sure that I believe that being together is the best for the kids (dunno for sure... going back and forth on this).  The reason I say that is that I feel that each year, I am more emotionally and physically checked out of my relationship... honestly, if he went out and found another woman to have sex with - my opinion would be "great he will leave me alone"...

I feel that the more checked out you are, in addition to the less he contributes financially (without trying to compensate in other areas), it makes a partner angry and bitter.  At the moment my thoughts are that just because I am a mom doesn't mean that I don't deserve a true companion... life is short and what we make it and if you are happy, your children will be happy.  Actually - you didn't mention your children's ages - mine are 2 and 3 so that might make a difference.

Anyway, i haven't made any decisions one way or another but I don't want to continue such an empty life.  We have done the counselling in the past and not really sure I am ready to re-start the cycle...  I am for the first time in many evenings truly relaxed b/c the kids are in bed and he is out...[/quote]
