[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here...I appreciate everyone's input.  The idea of my kids having to deal with 2 homes and step parents/step siblings and only seeing them half the time is what makes me not interested in divorce.  [/quote]

Same. Stop investing in making the marriage work and start investing in what you can do to make yourself happy. I used to be a SAHM. For years, I resented my husband for never helping around the house or being involved in parenting. Then one day, without even telling my husband, I went out and got a job. I put the youngest in full day preschool. I hired an after school babysitter. I hired a cleaning crew. My husband complained about all of it. Oh well. I never looked back. I went out and got the support I needed for raising my kids and keeping my household in order. I started making my own money. I stopped asking when he’ll be home or what he wants to eat. I run the show and sometimes he shows up. It is what it is. But I’m a hell of a lot happier than I was when I was home with kids alone all the time and wondering where the heck he was. Now I have hired help that I can depend on. [/quote]
