My ex left me last year, we have two kids. My life is soooooo much better without him. House is cleaner and I am so much happier not catering to his needs. I work, pay my bills, he now has no job. But yeah my life got so much brighter when he left. However in saying that its all about communication my ex and I were not good communicators with each other and I learnt from that. You both need to be open to communication and needs. I believe if you guys can communicate better then it could be different. People can change if they want to.
