[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That was me until recently, but it wasn't "just" lack of sex. Things had deteriorated beyond that. Finally sucked it up and started the divorce process. I feel better, more hopeful now. Even if I'm sometimes lonely, lonely in a bad marriage was way worse.[/quote]

One of the PPs here. I am contemplating this. Do you have kids? Ages? That is my big stumbling block.[/quote]

Middle schoolers. I agonized over it for years, but the kids are doing fine. Sometimes I regret waiting, but only for myself. I don't regret waiting it out a bit for them. They're at an age where they're more independent and seem less affected by not having both parents around at the same time all the time.[/quote]

Pp again. Thanks for this info. Mine are both under 6yo so I am where you were at their ages. Thanks for saying you feel better and are more hopeful. Are you dating or are you feeling better single? I am in both couoles and individual counseling and working on figuring out what I want for me, which is a harder exercise than I had imagined it to be![/quote]

I do feel better single. My stress level has decreased substantially. I feel more at peace at home. I'm sleeping better. I have some time for myself, which I hardly ever had because one of the issues with X is he always put himself first and made things more difficult for me.

I'm not really dating yet, but I have a sort of no-strings-attached FWB with whom I spend time every now and then. I am trying to make new friends and am starting to feel like it's time for me to start dating. A part of me is not looking forward to that, but I feel like I need a closer connection to someone.[/quote]

Pp again. You sound like a lovely person. Wish I knew you irl! It is a bit lonely over here!!!

Congrats to you for finding your way and honoring yourself. I am rooting for you![/quote]
