My marriage has lasted 36 years but I'm about done. I'm confused, sad, unhappy and pretty angry, but mostly at myself for letting myself get to this point. I'm 53, have few job skills and no job. I was one of 'those' stay at home moms who helped raise two amazing human beings and now that they've been out of the house for 10 years, I realize I have no relationship with their father. We have nothing in common and share very different views of the world and life in general. I didn't go back to school when I wanted to, saying we needed that money for the kids education. I've had a few part time jobs here and there but nothing that really accounts for much on a resume. How do I leave when our entire small community/friends/family thinks he's the perfect guy/husband/provider? How do I survive financially? Or should I just stick it out and be happy I have a roof over my head and a 'respectable' life?
That's a tough question. I think it first depends how miserable you are living with your spouse? Divorce is possible and you would have to seriously look into your rights based on your state. If you are that miserable, could you at least move in with one of your kids say for three months/just separate?
