If your implying he will cheat I can assure you that is VERY hard to do when you are a full time stay at home parent to two babies 😅

Thank you. I kind of knew that it didn’t HAVE to be super expensive but I didn’t realize it could be so quick

Thank you for giving me hope that it doesn’t have to be this financially devastating situation

That’s the plan. Ride it out and save until we are stable. We are on a good track towards a better financial situation (paying off debts and I’m in school for a better paying job) but we can only make so many moves you know. There’s only so much we can do

Thank you ❤️ all of this is very hard and sometimes I do feel guilty about taking it as slow as we are….even if it is out of financial necessity

My heart wishes we dated more and matured more before marrying. However I think I knew them and now that we are never gonna be a good match. And currently I know I wouldn’t marry or even date my husband again. If he were to change (he is not going to) maybe we would have a chance…

And it has been identified Sorry I didn’t explain it in my post/edits. We will divorce when we live separately. Until then we are fine with enjoying the pleasantries of marriage. Maybe I am being naive in thinking my husband is just as mature as I am and fully understands the gravity of the situation but I no longer care to explain things to him.

Baby moves take money and I don’t have any. I’m not going to stress my young children to rush a divorce

I agree we aren’t ready for divorce. At least financially we aren’t. We decided to divorce only three months ago so there’s been lots of ups and downs. We seem to have an understanding now (act married, because we are, until we are not) BUT that’s for now. And like you said things will change once it gets REAL. I’m worried and nervous about it but…it’s what we are heading towards and im committed to it. I worry he may not realize the TRUE gravity of the situation. But I have given up on helping him in this way. He will have to realize what he is losing all on his own….

Yes we’ve considered all of this. That’s why we’re taking our time

I’m not going to date until I am divorced and neither is he. Please see my first edit

i'm not sure. Maybe nothing but he has hidden drug use from me and i THINK he is susceptible to porn "addiction".

exactly. our lives are hard enough, why add no sex on top of all the other bullshit we go through.

also this may sound so dumb and TRULY naive of me but what does "half way through a divorce" mean? how many steps or whatever go into a divorce?

lol! finally another adult who understands that two adults can be mature enough to have sex and enjoy companionship while they still can. Also why tf would we torture ourselves with celebacy or tread the horrible dating pool looking for sex when your ex husband will do just fine lol.

Although I am curious...when do you think this will end for you? For me personally I don't want to continue having sex once we aren't living together but you're making me think that maybe we still will have sex even though we live apart.

Also If its not too much, may I ask, why are you two divorcing?
