[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Wow, that's a lot of assumptions -- and all wrong.  Venting?  Yes.  Revenge?  How is an anonymous posting revenge?

Do I have faults?  Yep.  But I do the big things right.  And I've put more than enough effort into my marriage.

But about my question: Are there studies of the effect of a divorce that happens after the kids are out of the house?  Any data or real information (not that I dismiss DCUM opinions, but I'd like facts)?[/quote]

I think this question is a red herring. I dont think you are suck an altruist that you will knowingly and willngly resign yourself to decades of unmet needs. And you SHOULDNT do this anyway.

But in case you really want to know: I have met people whose parents divorced when they themselves were grownup, and the rug is pulled out from under them in every way. When something isnt what it seemed, or the thing that never was going to happen happens, it fundamnetally requires the person to make a huge adjustment. However, since your kids will likely be subjected to decades of misery too, because you wont be able to hide any of this from them, they might ask what the fuck took you so long?[/quote]
