But where does the line cross from being selfish into taking control of your life? My husband and I have a good relationship to to an extend but it is mostly like a sister/brother type of thing. For me anyways. I can't even take having sex with him seriously. He is not like a deadbeat. He does provide for me as far as having a job (although he does have a problem with spending), and he does cook and clean. The bad things about him are that he is always negative. I also get extremely defensive because I feel like he is constantly getting on to my/our daughter. It would be so easy if things were straight forward and he was beating me or something. I would know to leave. But when do you know it is time to leave without the violence?

I think way way way before you think about your ex, you have to figure out about your marriage.
If you're unhappy, make a plan and figure a way out, then worry about the ex. It doesn't sound like you had some huge love affair with the ex - you moved on from him so it sounds like he is an escape for you right now. Take care of what's going on around you first, then worry about the future.
I think you know what the right thing is to do - you sound smart, just got stuck in a bad situation - I know exactly how you feel.
