[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband has told me that he’s not in love with me and that he doesn’t see that changing with therapy or anything else.  He’s civil to me most of the time (occasionally rude/condescending, but nothing too terrible). About a year ago, he told me he wants to move out and I convinced him to stay for the sake of the kids.  Today he told me again that he doesn’t see our relationship changing and that he feels that we both deserve to be happier.

Should I try to convince him to stay again? The idea of breaking my kids’ hearts and destroying their stability kills me.  I can not imagine not seeing them everyday and splitting every vacation, every visit from college, etc.

We don’t have a lot of conflict, and we get along around the kids.  We do lots of stuff together as a family and I genuinely enjoy those times.  I think our kids would truly be shocked if we split, as would our friends—we appear to be a solid, caring couple.  But the second we are alone, we just do our own things and completely disconnect form one an other.   We don’t have sx, don’t cuddle, etc.  We do share info about our work, our days, etc.  our household isn’t tense or angry.  It’s just that there’s no connection between us except for the kids.

Putting the financial hit aside, would you fight to stay in this marriage. Thinking of splitting time with my kids is breaking my heart!! [/quote]
Please don’t do this to yourself or your kids.  You’ll all lose.  Did this and it was a big mistake. [/quote]
