I left him but we might get back together for the reasons above. Its very confusing and scarey to go through this. I don't want to be back with him, but I do love him and maybe he will change. Plus it is so nice to not have to worry so much about how I'm going to pay the rent and buy food.

Money, the kids, I miss us maybe we can fix it but at the momment I don't want to. -
I have been with my hubby for 24 years. We got married super young and had kids right away! I loved him, but had my doubts back then if the was the right one for me. I honestly tried to make it work. But things have really gone downhill over the past 10 years and I'm not so sure if we will last forever. I mainly stayed for the sake of our kids, money, and because I have had some mental health issues (anxiety, depression) that have been pretty bad at times!! I still love him somewhat, but my feelings aren't as strong because he hasn't been treating me right for the past couple of years. Now that our kids are grown, I am really considering parting ways once I get myself established with work, so that I can stand on my own two feet. What are your reasons?

I stayed because, mistakenly I believed child from 2 parent homes fared better.
Then I realized the fighting was doing more damage than than the possible good of staying together.
Truth be told, EX-, I and the kids are much happier since the divorce.

a,b & d.
If and when I am able to financially, I'll overcome the other two. My kids are starting to realize that somethings not right & that breaks my heart. We're all much happier when he's not here.
