[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend dealt with this. She made it work as long as she could until the resentment got to be too much.  She left when the kids were in middle and high school. She is very happy now. It’s been about 5 years, one kid is in college, the other high school. She’s early 50s and single but has a very healthy dating life.  [/quote]

What was her tipping point? 
I do think about it but am not willing to divide time with the kids. Maybe later. It just infuses everything at this point. [/quote]  I don't know that there was a tipping point; I think it was just a gradual buildup, and eventually, she knew even the kids were not reason enough to stay miserable. She felt like she was losing herself.   She was very open and honest with him, and when she'd ask him about his own feelings, he always claimed to be happy and had no complaints. She felt like he glossed over everything and couldn't have an honest and vulnerable conversation with her.  They were married a long time, over 20 years. [/quote]
