Wow this describes my life to a tee!!
Strictly housemates who seem to hate everything about each other after 30 years of marriage and two wonderful grown kids.
I’ve hesitated, leaving for fear of alienating, my children, which would kill me. But if they’re grown ages, they know what’s going on, and I tend to think now that they would be accepting of the decision as long as it meant that mom and dad would be slightly happier. Such a tough situation that seems so intractable and unsolvable at times. The sad part is that while all of this introspection has gone on, time has marched on and I fear it is too late to make such a significant change. The ultimate choice is between walking to the end of the diving board and deciding to dive into an uncertain pool of water or sticking with a safe, but painful and isolating existence.
