I’m not even sure where to start. I’ve been with my wife for 8 years (3 married). We have a 3 year old and 6 month old boys. Somewhere along the lines we stopped getting along for countless reasons. Have tried a year of counselling to try and repair what we have but I find there is no hope to get my happiness back. I have brought up separating and co-parenting with her. It’s just so hard for me to commit to being a single dad of 2 and trying to give my boys the best. Financially we live a comfortable life. I just worry by walking away from that am I harming my boys to make myself happy? My only alternative is to stay in our relationship and just struggle to enjoy my life and find happiness.

I just want to know. Does it get better once you separate? Can you actually find enjoyment in life again?
