[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also am very unhappily married.  Once I worked through the numbers, I realized I could not make ends meet while still living in our current school district and without cutting back significantly on expenses for activities, clothes, etc. (I used a VA child support calculator and was very surprised at how little I would get.) I decided that I'm not willing to make my kids sacrifice that much.  My current plan is to wait until my youngest is a junior or senior in high school (5-6 more years) to get the process started.  When youngest DC graduates, I can move someplace much cheaper without upending their lives.

So, I would recommend figuring out your finances and how much you would likely have each month and if it is doable for you to divorce.  If so, I would tell your DH you want a separation.  If you did that, do you think he would finally be willing to work on the marriage and make changes?  If not, you can proceed with separation.

Sorry you are going through this.  It is really hard being in an unhappy marriage.[/quote]

Thank you. I shared in a response that I have asked him to go to counseling and he says no. I can fully support our needs with my new job. There may not be all the "extras" but my career is on the upswing and I will be able to fully manage on my own. I think this job is giving me the confidence to consider something I couldn't before.
