[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Forget about the earlier situation. It is irrelevant at this point.

Since you have three young kids, I'd try marriage counseling first to see if you can sort this out.

A bigger issue than the marriage even seems to be that you've lost touch with your authentic self. You seem to be just going through the motions in your life, and your husband is equally disconnected from his. Before you quit everything you need to reconnect with yourself and really face yourself. It may seem hard but can you possibly get some sitter time so that you can get a therapist? Maybe present it to your husband as a mental health crisis and you need to address it so you can be present for the kids? You need to have some support in untangling this.[/quote]

OP here.

Yes, motherhood has definitely changed my whole identity.

I have said over years we need help. He has fought me each time it is presented.

I have been more adamant lately and might possibly be making some headway there, but I know deep down he still doesn't want to do it.

We've got baggage from before we even had kids so yeah, we need help.[/quote]
