[quote=Anonymous]Op,

I divorced a similar type of guy. He was overweight (but so was I), and focused primarily on working long hours, spending time in his man cave, listening to records, and going to sleep at 8pm to wake up at 2am and work looong hours. We grew apart. I wanted to go on walks with our dog (never did that), 5k runs (he hates running due to a high resting heart rate), play tennis (he had zero interest).

Now that I’m divorced, I’m dating a guy that enjoys playing tennis, going to the gym together, cooking together, going on trips. He’s not as intellectual as ex DH but is up for doing things and being more adventurous (although not *that adventurous).

So in a way, things improved… but I really miss having a family. I don’t miss ex DH that much because he cheated on me… I don’t miss his workaholic lifestyle, I don’t miss feeling lonely in marriage… but dating is one thing, and having a family is so much harder. So if you did get a divorce, you’d likely find lots of amazing guys to date… but to trust them, to build a future with them, to have stability and settle down with them is entirely different.

I’m so sympathetic for what you are going through… but the grass isn’t that much greener. There’s patches of green but patches of brown, dead grass too. [/quote]
