[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents took the step you want to and neither is happy now.  Mom pulled the trigger instead of going for counseling .  My sisters and I still can't figure out how you can be happy through close to 30 years of marriage (and they were-lots of physical affection) and not be able to find the energy to make it through a rough patch.  The travel plans they made went in the toilet, mom is very poor and neither landed on their feet romantically.  As adult children we are very resentful. We had a good family life growing up and now hate holiday meal negotiations over who is going to see who.  Our family no longer exists and I have never forgiven my mom for leaving for no good reason.  Don't do it. Your kids will hate you.[/quote]

Wake up and grow up, Child! There was most likely a very good reason, but didn't feel they owed you the details. You know far less than you think about your parents and their marriage. It was their choice to make and I'm sure it doesn't mean they loved you any less. There is only so much a person can take and it sounds like they'd had enough of whatever misery they were in.

This response is very harsh.  Your kids will be crushed and probably not respect you....and you will feel the sting.  my marriage survived an affair.  We got past it.  Made massive changes in our life.  If we can do it, anyone can.[/quote]
