[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH did something recently that crossed a hard bright line of a boundary. Something so egregious that I immediately told him I want a divorce.

He does not want to divorce and asked if we could separate instead.

I don’t believe in separations, for the most part, and in this instance am not interested.

We have one child(5). He’s a present and attentive father. However what occurred is a behavior that I don’t want our child to grow up around or believe is normal.

Not infidelity, not drugs or drinking.

The issue happened about a week ago. He has apologized and is taking steps to rectify.

I am feeling…meh. We can be in the same house, sleep in the same bed. I’m  not angry, but I am feeling just done. Healthy fun adventurous sex life before this, and I have zero interest right now.

Objectively it’s likely not this last thing but being fed up because this last thing was the straw. We had a rough 2-years when first married, but the last few have been good.

Do I just stick it out? I don’t want my kid to deal with split households, split resources, step siblings, etc. I have no interest in ever remarrying and will be fine if I don’t have more kids.

For people who divorced, where it wasn’t a clear “my spouse is terrible and I must get out” how did you know? If you divorced, did you regret it?

If you stayed did things get better? How?

Probably should mention both of us have been under a bunch of work stress lately. [/quote]

Clearly you are taking this seriously and thinking it thru fully.

Continue that thinking with, “Why will I still be in this situation five years from now? Will I regret losing an opportunity to do the right thing for myself and my son?”[/quote]
