I'm still married but unhappy.
Told her I want a divorce.
She asks me not to divorce right now, because: * She tried to make me happy but failed. * She didn't notice that I'm unhappy. * She would like to rebuild the relationship to make us both happy, even if it means to be a cleaning lady. * We live abroad, and she wants a passport of that country. She can get it if she stays married, otherwise she needs to have worked for 5 years.
She has never worked. When I ask why, she says because she has a husband, and because she doesn't want to work, and that she isn't qualified to do any work, that she is afraid of failure, that she can only become a cleaning lady who hates her job. I earn enough not to force her to work. But her not working had a devastating effect on our relationship because it made it very one-sided. I earn the money and have all responsibility, she chooses time and place of vacations and keeps buying furniture to make the house more comfortable. She cooks and cleans. Cares for me. But none of what she does makes me happy.
Every time I'm alone I feel peace of mind like never with her.
Please guys tell me that I have the right to do what I want.
Edit: Thanks guys, I needed your support to gather a bit of courage to make the right decision, even if it's painful in the short term. I know I'll be happy simply Going My Own Way.
