[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plenty of marriages end without divorce or separation.

I am in one of those. For several reasons, including children, money, and health, the paperwork still says we are married. We can all find ways of being happy while in a disappointing (to say the least) relationship. It's not the way our conflict and closure-hungry society would want us to behave (divorce! now! spend all your money on two households and whine about how your ex treats your kids), but it's sometimes the most reasonable way.

So I commend you for taking the time to think through it. You can never take too much time as long as it's not a situation of abuse.

This is so fascinating to me, PP. Would you mind sharing a bit more about your story and how you ended up like this?[/quote]

My husband is mentally ill and refuses to treat himself. He is an intelligent person who cannot be relied upon. Life with him is stressful for me, but life in separate households would be even more stressful since he would then have no one to try to prevent the daily mess that would ensue. I cannot do that to my kids.

Since you wouldn't have married a mentally ill man, being married to you must have caused it to manifest.  If you go away he will probably get better.  By the way being unreliable is not a mental illness.[/quote]

You are a horrible human being to write that to someone you don't know, and don't know their circumstances. I'm not that poster by the way, just disgusted by you.[/quote]
