[quote=Anonymous]With a divorce you may not every meet someone to date/marry. You may be alone forever. But you *might* find someone to share you life with. In your marriage you know you will *always* be alone. There is no chance (at this point) that he will ever be the emotional partner you want/need him to be.

However, he will be there physically to take care of the kids. You will not have to 'do it all' like you would if you were a single parent. You will also be more financially comfortable.

So you have to decide, we can't do it for you--do you want a more difficult emotional/sexual life with an easier physical/financial life. Or do you want a more difficult physical/financial life for the chance of a more fulfilling emotional/sexual life?

That being said...all the divorced Mom's I know agree that life is more difficult being divorced (child sharing, late custody payments, no back up when sick, etc), but they are happier and more satisfied. They didn't realize just how much of a weight their DH were to their overall well being. And in most cases the kids are doing better. Living with a grumpy Dad who is taking out his unhappiness on the family is just an unpleasant experience all around. So they hate the shuffling around, but they are overall happier because they are away from the unhappy Dad for a period of time. [/quote]
