[quote=Anonymous][quote]You sound depressed. A clue is that you are announcing that all possible solutions won't work before you've even tried them. For example, counseling ("so little hope..."). Divorce (would lose all sources of joy). Who knows - you haven't tried either[/quote]

And she also doesn't know if any of this "brand new life, you will find new friends etc." actually won't work. Except for the husband, she says everything else currently works for her. How do you know everything will magically work out for her by taking a leap into the unknown? The problem is, once she's tried it and finds out it's hard to make friends as a single woman in middle age or find a new mate or rebuild a life. And she's already thrown away the old one.

There are a TON of women who get divorced because they think they deserve to be "happy" only to find out that there is no new man or happy new life waiting around the corner. They're in a worse financial position, they're even lonelier than they were before.

I get really impatient with people who tell other people to throw out their lives because they're not perfect and "no one should have to compromise" ... bullshit. We all have to compromise in life.[/quote]
