So, I’ve been married for almost 15 years, with husband for 16+ years, and we have two kids. Things haven’t been sunshine and flowers all the time, but no relationship is. The past year has been really rough, though. Like, we don’t get along at all, and it’s pretty clear neither of us are happy. I can’t even broach the subject of separation, without it getting ugly, and him blaming me for everything that has brought us here.

Add to this, we have built a business together, and I’m afraid that if I leave, it will mean a lot of financial hardship for my kids and myself, as we live in a very expensive area.

It’s so stressful, and it’s taking a toll on me. Unfortunately, most of my immediate family moved away, so I don’t have any help from anyone.

Just venting, more than anything, I guess...
