    Married for 33 years. Separated at year 28. Still married by living apart. It was the no communication, no quality time, and the no concern for my feelings that was the reason I had to finally stop colluding in my own self betrayal! It was a slow and lonely death of our marriage that gave me to courage to move out and not look back. Took my savings and bought a townhouse. He can file for a divorce and pay a lawyer, but l rather use my money to travel and invest. I’m healing and feeling better everyday. 🧘🏽‍♀️

      So, you pulled the plug but want him to foot the bill? That's cowardly... Own it to your decisions. It's the right thing to do. It takes two to kill a marriage. One person cannot do it by themselves.

    In 2024 with the economy the way it is, divorce is financially impossible for anyone except the wealthy. Thus, you accept being with a person for the rest of your life knowing money is the only thing keeping you together. The alternative today could mean a very horrible lifestyle and maybe becoming homeless.

    32 years, issues of course. She started online chats and when she hot attention from others she put more energy into online relationships instead of us. I always tried but as our kids tell me she che ked out before she moved out. Lied to us all to cover her eyes it and made look like it was me. Our kids saw through her lies. She moved out to New relationship but tried selling it as shelter, she got caught and continues to lie. Has absolutely no communication with any of our kids. All grown ups now. I asked for divorce but she is stalling the process.

    I'm 50. I get curious on how someone can leave their spouse after so many years. My marriage is not perfect. I often describe my husband like an achy elbow. He is part of me after all this time. Just like an arm. Just because most days my elbow aches I don't want my arm cut off. I love my arm. And an ache isn't enough for me to amputate. Loosing my husband seems like it would be equivalent to being amputated. Sure I could go on living. But, I would never stop missing what it was like having my arm. And in some ways perhaps a prosthetic arm would work better but it would never be truly part of me the way my husband is. I love my arm and it isn't achy all the time 😂❤😊.
    This is scary though and I hope me and my husband don't have signs we headed for divorce. I wonder what an expert would say? Are we good? Or is there some serious signs that we don't have a permanent marriage?
    Listening to this video we still sleep together and have sex. He laughs more than I do. He enjoys being around me more than I do around him. But I feel so connected to him. And he takes care of me when I am sick which is quite often. He is my lover and my family. How do I know if the imperfections we have are what lead to silver divorce? Is there any guarantees?

    You can't blame people for needing love yet abused by the legal judiciary system. It's not the divorce it's the spouse that refuses to stop being the aggressive victim using hatred control that during the marriage never had good luck on your extortion tactics of victim mentality while together all you did was steal

    I never understood why being in a relationship requires marriage. That is what our ancestors did out of survival. In the modern era there is no social pressure to marry and in an overwhelming percentage they either end in divorce or one is unhappy. Why not live together, set up a cohabitation agreement then when it goes South, just end it?
