We finally sat down and had the conversation and my wife said one us should move out. I said it should be me - my parents live within a 2-hour drive, plus she’s had “our” dog since before we dated so makes more sense to keep her in the environment she’s used to.

Feeling a bit numb in the immediate aftermath, which to me says more than if I was shattered. Our primary issues have come and gone and come back again, it goes back to before we were married. I’m exhausted. She blames me for all of the issues and while I think she has valid points about some of where I’m falling short, me being the root cause of everything isn’t true or fair in my eyes.

I’m not sure where things go from here but I can see a world where we move to divorce quickly. It’s hard to imagine a life without her. At the same time, it’s not that hard to imagine a life where I’m able to regain some balance. Advice is very welcome
