[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's sounds like a separation would be amicable so I would do it in a heartbeat. [b] You both can be pleasant with each other [/b]and co-parent.

I married the wrong person.  But I feel stuck- a separation with him would not be amicable at all and he would make my life even more miserable. I'm waiting until the kids go to college.

But if I were in your shoes, make a clean break.  As long as the kids see that you both are kind and caring with each other and can co-parent responsibility and nicely then I think they would be fine. [/quote]

Bullshit, Pollyanna. 'You can both be pleasant' - let's see how that plays out in real life.  Kids are NOT fine with divorce. They HATE it and pay for your 'clean break' for the rest of their lives. You're not looking far enough down the road. Divorced parents take on new partners and set up new households. The original kids are displaced, feel like guests in their parent's new home. As hard as parents may try (even in the NOVA bubble where I live), divorced kids pay a price that's difficult for them to verbalize, but present nevertheless.  You are breaking their home literally and figuratively. Listen to some Blink-182 and Everclear to hear the anger from the mouths of sons of divorce.[/quote]

+1.  It may have been the best option but it still sucks.  I guess the Amicable Fairy will somehow make dividing holidays for the rest of my life fun and easy.[/quote]
