@Revenge Tour I am sorry you find yourself in opposite corners of your wife's opinions about self medicating with MJ. I do not believe long term use of intoxicants in place of medication is sustainable. There are studies that show depression is a possible side effect.

I wonder if rather than talk to an attorney, you might consider a therapist. I think there could be other difficulties in the relationship and this may be what put you over the edge. A professional can guide you better as an objective witness. A lawyer is not what I would choose for the first step.

If you have spent this long with someone, that is a big part of your life. Just to close the door and walk away could be very hurtful. I have experienced friends with similar situations and what they needed was to stop self medicating and get medication that is clinically proven to help. I do not know your situation but I also think leaving is a reaction rather than a response that is well thought out and considerate of what the person would do if you left.

From a practical standpoint, nowadays it is expensive for two people to live separately.

I agree that sobriety is the best policy, but I am also concerned about what my actions today will affect my self concept tomorrow. @CANDC
