I agree that more damage is done when families continue to stay together when the relationship no longer functions. it is far better for all to be adult and decide enough is enough and go your seperate ways than remain in a loveless marriage. I have decided to end mine after twelve years after trying counselling and relationship therapy as I can see the damage it is doing to the children and us. I am planning to end it but my partner is still in total denial even after talking through my reasons on many occasions. You are showing your child that things can be different and easier for all if your seperate rather than stay for the sake of children, it’s taking responsibilty for your actions and moving forward to a life that you all deserve. Good luck

You sound very brave and your son is lucky you are putting him first, a lot of people in similar situations may want to make the break but are too scared

Just read this part. I’ve just separated from my husband after being together for 13 years, 10 of them married. I made the decision in October and it was the most difficult decision I’ve ever made and never thought that I would be doing it as my parents divorced when i was 11 and you just never think you’d do the same. We grew apart and that was that. I wasn’t happy and I think that once the seed of doubt has set in nothing will ever be the same even if people go to a counsellor, the damage has been done. I feel alot happier now, although ex is still living here and is having a hard time coming to terms with it. But I made the decision because his attitude was affecting our eldest son, and his happiness is more important to me then trying to mend a relationship that was broken ages ago.
