[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Husband sucks but staying together for the kids. What are your self preservation strategies? No abuse, drugs or cheating involved. Just very different worldview and communication styles.  We have tried counseling and we will do it again but I have little hope. I'm also not interested in breaking up the family unit so divorce is not an option right now. Kids are 10 and 13[/quote]

A friend in your situation travels every 12 weeks. She visits friends and relatives for a weekend and detoxifies emotionally from the fraud that is her home life. The pandemic was very hard because they were stuck under one roof.[/quote]

Detox — yesss. Very important.

My DH has anger/ untreated mental health issues. Apart from the strategies mentioned above and having a schedule where we don’t overlap much, I make a point to schedule a work or leisure trip once a month. I also encourage him to travel.

Space, space, more space. Be ruthless about tending to your own needs and wholeness. I refuse to hate my life or be unhappy.[/quote]
