Hi, I've never posted on reddit before but needimg some advice and guidance as I prepare to seperate from my wife.

Bit of back story, uk based and been together 14 year and married 11 with two children under 10. I've been unhappy for a while mainly because she has never had any relationship with my family and limits what contact our kids have.its got to the point where I can't take it any more, after years of hoping she'd change. Everytime I've mentioned it to her she would yell at me and belittle me saying we dont matter to my family and I'm just a guy why should I care. She often says men are useless and started saying it unfront of our kids as well. That's another reason I want to end things, she is starting to rub her negativity onto the kids.

I've made the decision to leave and have contacted 4-5 solicitors to get an idea of what to expect and my rights. My question to the group is how did you guys approach telling your partners that you were unhappy and wanted to leave?

Thanks in advance for your help
