[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I are discussing a divorce after 15 years together. We’re good coparents, friends, and on the same page for future goals and finances. There’s not a lot of romance but there is companionship. And we both like being with our kids full time.

Our major issue is he cheated on me several years ago. We did marital counseling for more than a year and have gotten to a better place, but it’s not something we have fully moved on from. It’s just weighed down things and we are now really 50/50 if we want to stay together.

Is the grass always greener? We both admit neither is dying to go date or remarry right away, but I think we are both curious if it is better to be apart and solo for a chance at something that may be more romantic. Or if being friendly and parenting in a stable household and trying to maintain or improve things is better. We don’t fight or bicker, the kids are elementary aged, and it would be a big hardship to have two households financially.

We’re not miserable but not living blissfully. Has anyone BTDT and what did you decide? Did you have regrets making the decision?

Solo life after my divorce was financially harder, but so good for my mental well-being and overall happiness of myself and my kids.

I eventually remarried, but no regrets about leaving my exH other than the fact I waited as long as I did. [/quote]
