[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there specific things she does that make you feel like you’d be happier without her? Or is that just the fantasy of something different?[/quote]

There's really nothing she does, aside from the normal annoyances of living with someone, so the desire to be single is simply to relieve the claustrophobic/trapped feeling I keep getting.

If I were to get into another relationship I'm 99% sure I would go through the same thing with someone else, which is why I don't ever think I'd necessarily be happy with someone else.

My wife meets 90% of my needs; the only thing lacking is conversation. I'd love to discuss science, politics, religion, current affairs, with her, but she's just not that way inclined and those subjects don't interest her.

We used to talk before we had children, I can't remember what about, but I imagine the kids leaving home in 10-20 years and not having anything in common or to talk about.[/quote]
you sound like you are really burned out.  Go on a relaxing vacation, at least a full week with at least 1 full weekend. Some place where you and your wife can reconnect. Go where there are kids' clubs/resort offered babysitting. I like the Polynesian Hotel at Disney. Orlando or the Disney Cruise (hard to be depressed when your kids are excited & happy) BUT if you do not like Disney, do not go there!  Also go when the kids are in school, so it will be more peaceful. (OK to take a 7-yr old out for a week, tell the teacher & get the work, it's really not a big deal).  When our kids were small, we went on vacation 3 times a year, so me & DH had reconnect time. We like Caribbean cruises (not during hurricane season- spring is a good time)  because we send the kids to the kids club & we go back to our room & reconnect  :D  or do spa services.  (When we left kids with in-laws we worried & didn't like that they weren't with us) Good luck...and do something relaxing! [/quote]
