It's very difficult to end a marriage, or a lifelong commitment. Please don't feel guilty though for placing a priority on your happiness.

Life is far too short to be lived in an unhappy marriage. Why do that to yourself, or to him?

We have just one lifetime to live, and I can tell that you want to be happy or else you wouldn't be thinking this way.

I would just simply tell him one day that you need to talk about your marriage and where you are at with it. Then tell him straight up that you're unhappy, that you have been unhappy for a long time, and that you think it's best to separate and go your own ways. Tell him that you've given it much thought, and this is what you want and need.

Just pull that band-aid off. Be brave. You can do this!
