Sometimes people just grow apart as the years pass.

You're entitled to happiness, User. Life isn't a dress rehearsal, this is it, it's your only shot at living.

Yep. I just can't live in this environment. My husband is too damn cold and logical (he's a financial adviser FFS, people don't want him wishy washy over their money) so he's no fun (and square...God the man has gotten more and more conservative as we've grown up). The kids *think* he never did anything (like *gasp* pot, other drugs, fighting etc.). He doesn't think they should know. They call him "Mr. Perfect". Any wonder?

And my daughter. Love her always but she can go from loving and needing me to calling me a selfish, horrible, c*^& mother in two minutes flat. I never know what's going to set her off. I refuse to engage so when she gets all crazy like that, I just tell her "talk to me later" and walk (or drive) away. And even though she turns her sights on my husband sometimes, he's not around near as much--I think he could live like this for another year or two. I can't. So I've got two reasons why I don't want to come home. I'm not feeling much of anything about it except some sadness. But I gotta get outta here. I don't even care if we divorce. I actually wouldn't mind being day time help knowing I could go "home" to my own place/peace at the end of the day to unwind. And yeah, over time, build a new life (fixing furniture, I think). It's all good. My last husband asked if I wanted to go to counseling when I told him I wanted to divorce and I said "ummm, no". End of story. At least I've given this a really good try!!
