Thanks for the reply,
Yes I will end the marriage. It is best for everyone. My husband has expressed interest in that, and he has also developed an interest on an old friend. So the irony of it all is that I am the one alone!
I agree with your assessment that I paid a big price for a lack of action. I do regret that, but I am happy to have provided less of a complicated situation to my children until now that they leave for college.
My romantic partner feels close to me, but wants to protect his feelings, so he wants a friendship. We both I think relied on each other for company, chats, movies, and overall fun activities. So the break of those very pleasant routines is hitting us both hard.
Thanks for listening and for compassion It is very nice to have that
