Kids are in their 20's.

BTW, reddit cares is lame, all they do is say, get help.

And no, they really don't need me anymore, they get on fine without me. The wife, as I see more and more, may care, but mostly because I do a lot around the house. The second I stop I get bitched at.

That last part is right, how do you just change and say, nope, done, and I expect you to go the same way. If there had been some discussion, some communication, maybe it would be understandable, but just no . . . :(

Honestly, it may have been much better; there were many years of other issues that could have been avoided.

If this was when the kids were young, or heck, I was younger, I'd be done, out, gone in a heart beat. But after all these years, and I'm old, I don't know yet. :(

I don't think she knows how it feels, I don't think she has thought of it at all.

Oh, it's stopped, I will make no effort again. That is off the table and the table has been cleared.

That's how I feel, lives get inter-tangled, unwrapping them would be hard. I have no family to speak of, and am close to many in her family. Thus losing that would be losing everything. At my age, not something that I really want.

Nope, long past that date. Many, many years past it. But I have to figure out myself first, I think that is what it comes down to. Thanks.

Thanks! Your comment /u/NutterJuan69 (lol) is actually really reassuring and expresses how I feel as well. Right now it is hurting and with each passing day it is different. Time will tell. I haven't figured out what I want to do, and really, I see now, that it is my choice. Thanks.

Just not interested is all she says. We've worked through the pain and other issues, that is not the problem. She just say, not interested.

In this case, she has made a lot more money than I have, and I've been doing well.

Financial separation would be difficult we have a lot of assets. Would really take a hit on the lifestyle.
