This is what I'd like to do. He can have his dream of living in a remote area and I'll visit occasionally. I just don't know if I'll make it until then.

I do not want to divorce at this age and know it is a bad financial decision, but I am so tired of so many things. I thought this morning that I should just start living as if I am single. Example: spouse won't discuss, help decide, or act on a house maintenance issue that can no longer be ignored so I will make the decision on how to handle it on my own and proceed with getting the work done.

How many of us will join this trend?
