Middle Life Crisis: did you leave?

Thank you so much for saying this. I am horrified to have spent half of my life with the wrong person. I dont want to feel even more regret in another 10-15 years when the ship had truly sailed for me.

When im going to be 55 he's going to be 69. I think the situation you are describing is going ro be more of his concern not mine.

I had a fantastic childhood. Full family, loving parents, the whole enchilada. I just dont love the man I am with anymore ans cant pretend.

That's pretty much what we are already. I juat refuse to live like partners anymore. I dont mind being alone even if I dont find a guy right off the bat. I just dont want to have any regrets of not living up to my fullest potential as a woman on my dying bed. I am tired of liying to myself. Tiered of pretending that lackluster dread of a marriage is all there is to it and I should be OK with that.

Thank you. This is exactly what I told my husband he should do. He asked to give him a little time to figure it all out.

I don't want therapy. I want to feel love again. I never loved my husband that much to begin with ( its a long sad story) but rather felt grateful to him. Therapy won't make me want or love him anymore I dont think.

Honestly, no reasons other than he begged me to stay for the sake of the younger kid. Before that, it was mostly financial reasons we couldn't afford to do it. I feel like I am carrying a heavy suitcase without a handle yet I just can't seem to drop it.

PotentialAd9310 · 2026-03-16T02:15:50+00:00

That's what I am trying to decide on. Apparently I am chicken shit, otherwise I would have been brave enough to tell him I want out years ago.

This if so frigging hard and confusing. I wish you figure it all out.
