[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Catching up on all the feedback. I appreciate it all. Even the harsh feedback.

To address some things that have come up, I’ve been in therapy for at least 6 mos and we’ve been in marriage counseling for a year.

I’m not depressed (I’ve inquired). My husband may be but will never go on meds due to his profession (and maybe he’s not).

[b]I come from a very stable family[/b], have a very strong circle of friends, etc. My husband is more of a loner. He would say he has strong connections, but they appear surface-level or at least they are not people who are part of his everyday life. He’s estranged from most of his family. I think his world mostly revolves around our child and me.

Of course I have baggage. I don’t want my parents’ marriage. They’ve been married for more than 50 years, but they really don’t spend time together. [b]My mother treats my father horribly. I feel as though we’re on that path. 
[/b]
I also have no doubt that my husband will or could find someone quickly. He is a catch in many respects. I know I may end up alone. But is that really a reason to stay married? When our child is gone, what will we talk about? We never had hours of endless talking.

I married him for all the reasons people are saying I should stay in this marriage. He’s a good provider. Attentive. Kind. Yes! I recognize aaaaall the good qualities![/quote]

1. These are two completely opposing statements

2. Short of being physically abused there is absolutely nothing my spouse could do to me that would make it worth it to not see my kids every day and have them see their dad every day. That is beyond selfishness. If you really need a "spark" that bad then wait 8 years till they're in college. [/quote]
