I guess I put their home stability and financial comfort above my happiness (I would struggle to keep this house on my income alone). This past year it's really hit home that one is already out of the house and the other will be eventually. I plan on leaving him next summer, at the end of the school year, since my children are already struggling because of social isolation. I don't want to do it while we're all working from home and schooling from home.
Good luck to you, it sounds like your husband is trying, I hope it is real.
I understand where you're coming from. I also understand placing your children above yourself, though that must also be difficult.

And thank you - I'd like to be hopeful. Some people CAN change, and I'd like to think my husband is one of those people.
