After 23 years of being with my husband and a heated fight last night, we both agree that this is not working. To keep it short, we are in a sexless marriage going on 3 years (my fault for the most part with many reasons). We also have an 8 year old son, who is totally heartbroken. My husband thinks that we should consider staying together for the sake of our son and just live our lives separately under one roof and agree to not bring anyone home. Basically, this is how we live now other than he wants to now open it up to dating others. If I find someone new, he will then move out. This sounds a little ridiculous to me. Has anyone here ever done this? I'm 45 years old and the thought of going out on dates and telling a guy that I'm still living with my husband sounds very strange to say the least. I think he would run the other direction immediately. On the other hand, it is killing me dealing with our son's broken heart. My parents divorced wh en I was 7. My mother never did find stability after the divorce and moved me from school to school. It changed my life for the worst forever. Here I find myself in the same situation as my mother, except I would not be uprooting my son. I've always told myself that I would live through hell in order to spare my son going through the torment of a divorce. I will have more posts to come soon I'm sure. I just needed to get this out there for starters....
Put the internet to work for you.
