I have been married for almost 20 years and I believe we are in a silent divorce. I don’t have the courage to walk away, mainly for fear of not being part of my kids’ life. I also know that I cannot afford a divorce. She has been a SAHM, for most of the marriage and she does not want to go back to work. There are many issues in our marriage and looking back there were many red flags in the beginning. It is likely we should have never gotten married, but then I would not have my wonderful kids. I am not putting all the blame on her, I am sure that I have contributed plenty to get us where we are today.

It has been a long road to get to this conclusion and I know what I must do for my own sanity, but as I said earlier I don’t have the courage. I know she feels the same way, I don’t know her reasons as to why she does not walk away.

Who else has gone or is going through this?
