[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The OP said "disrespect and lack of intimacy" and you have posters suggesting to join weight watchers or a book club.  The crux is, that after you raise your kids, your personal happiness is of no consequence.  In fact you are supposed to switch to the 50+ forum where you don't discuss fashion but instead it's about looking after aging parents before you get to be your husband's caregiver.  In other words, your life is going to be a "whole lot of nothing."  You're not supposed to take any risks, change or do anything "reckless" ever again.  [b]The reason everyone with real money gets divorced is because they can.     [/quote][/b]

Yes, this.

OP, keep all your options open. Do some research into divorce, see what's involved, what it will cost, and weigh your options. Try to imagine life post divorce when your kids are spending weekends or holidays with  your former spouse. It would be difficult, but is it worse than staying married?

You know in your gut what's right. Staying in an abusive marriage with a spouse who won't go to therapy and won't change is hopeless. If that's the case, get out. If you are just indifferent, bored and lonely, there might be hope if you and your spouse can change. Only you know the answer.
