[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm staying and I have no idea if it's the right choice or not. I don't know how everyone's so sure either way. I had one couple's therapist who thought we were great together and one was giving me domestic abuse hotlines. For right now I'm getting as much space as I can while still living together, and we'll see how it goes. [/quote]

In a very similar situation.  It’s amazing how different counselors interpret the same situation.  Do you love DH?  I do so we are trying to figure it out.[/quote]

I thought for a long time that was enough, that I could make this work through love or sheer force of commitment to my kids or whatever. I don't think that anymore.

Now the questions I ask myself are more like, well, he's a good parent and pretty normal day to day, but when he gets stressed out he talks about leaving me and then acts like he's forgotten about it the next day and wants everything to be normal. Can I handle that? Does it matter what the frequency is? Or: he acts supportive of my career, but he's shared that in fact he feels jealous and angry about it. Can I live with that so long as he's generally pleasant? Or, we rarely fight and never in front of our kids, but a little part of me is probably dying every day by being with someone who once expressed that he enjoys hurting me. What do I owe my kids here vs. myself?[/quote]
