I'm tired of doing this. I just want it all to be over...
Why don't I just file for divorce?? I want to be able to say I've done everything in my power to make it work. I'm about at my breaking point. Nothing is changing... I'm not 5. I've been a single parent before and done it successfully. Of course he can't see my struggles, he's too self absorbed to really be able to see beyond his own needs But if I file for divorce then it looks like I am the one perpetuating the change rather than investing in my family. But i've been investing for three years and it's not getting better. Today I'm just tired. |

Go ahead and file. Don't worry about what people will think. Life is too short to spend it in misery.

Filing for divorce doesn't mean that you have to go through with it. And who cares what others think, you need to do what is best for yourself and your children.
And as a practical matter filing for divorce does mean you are being proactive not reactive to the situation. You can use the filing as leverage for counseling if that is what you want, or you can position yourself for the divorce better if you are the one who files. You can probably call around and get a free consultation from a lawyer, then start your planning for the divorce. I hate to sound cold but planning things out for a bit is a good thing. My ex planned for over a year before I knew a thing and I got hammered. I'm not suggesting that you do the same to him, but I am saying you need to protect yourself from something like that happening to you.

Being the one to file doesn't mean you didn't try everything to make it work.
Anyone who can't understand that has no business in your business. :Hug: Sent from my LGMS323 using Tapatalk |
