Well after 17 yrs of marriage it looks like it is over. I'm completely devastated. This is the last thing I ever wanted. I love him and always have. We've been together since I was 17 and always thought we would do it. But wtf can you do, I don't want to be with someone who doesn't want to be with me. I think he is going through a mid life crisis and is depressed but he will not seek any help for it. So, sadly I feel that although he thinks I'm the problem, he will still be miserable once he's free.

I went on a road trip for 3 weeks w our daughter (she is 9), it was wonderful. Can you believe he laid it on me the night I got home after I drove 13 hours straight and was so happy to be home and see him. WTF. wtf WTF.


As I'm sure most of us here experienced, my parents were divorced and it totally shattered my life at the time. I cannot bear to do this to her. I refuse to rip her out of her house & school and friends although it would sure be easy to run away somewhere and start over. So my question is has anyone here been succesful at divorcing amicably? Maybe even to the point of still living in the same house for the sake of the kids. I am thinking about setting something up where he is free to do whatever the fuck he wants to but is still here so she doesn't have to be without her daddy or do the visit every other weekend thing. If anyone has suggestions towards this goal I would like to hear them.
Pardon me while I go cry and throw up some more.
