[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm in the same boat as you.  HS aged kids, been having problems for months.  Counseling hasn't helped.  DH is depressed and sad.  He wants out.  No love for me any more.  There is no affair.  I have access to everything and he's only out of the house and away from us for work.

We were actually going to seperate a few weeks ago but he put on the brakes.  My counselor thought it was important to tell the kids ASAP (early August) so they had a few weeks to process before school started.  Now we're back on track to separate but school starts next week.  Not sure how to handle the timing of disclosure at this point (one kid is starting freshman year- stressful enough without his world blowing up).

My counselor also suggested having the details worked out before telling the kids.  Living arrangements, etc, so the kids have less to worry about since plans are in place.

I have a feeling once you set the ball in motion to actually separate your husband may put the brakes on.  Mine freaked out once the details were worked out and took a step back.  But now that's he's had some time he still wants to go forward.  And I'm like you- realizing that I need to let him go for both of our sakes.

We can walk this road together.  [/quote]
