I get what you are thinking though...maybe pretend he is distant friend of sorts...It has been said that many couples are happier many years down the road after working through struggles then those same years down the road after a divorce.

I've been divorced for about 5 1/2 years and just starting to find my way...so when you say "nice guy", maybe things could be worked through. I'm just saying divorce is not much of a quick fix and it could be worth spending the next few years putting the work in on the marriage...so I agree with your your last sentence...
(((Direction))) Thank you so much for you thoughtful and eye opening post. I'm oscilating between honoring my feelings (I've spent the bulk of my life not having my feelings matter so as an adult I think I make up for time and go too far in one direction) and having my brain override my feelings and give it a shot. There are times/occasions where my feelings get in the way and other times I should be listening to my feelings. I'm hoping this is just one of those times where putting my brain in the drivers seat is the right decision.

Thank you so much for helping me figure this out
