If you are not happy leave. It is true that you have been singing this tune a long time. Everything you say is the truth, because we have chatted for hours and you have a consistent story. If you are not happy, leave. I did. It was hard. 13 years, erased. I had to pay my own bills, take care of my child alone, worry where the next meal or tank of gas was coming from, but I did it. Why? Because I was being disrepected and I was sick of it. Am I happy, not really. It takes years to recover, but I do know that being alone and being self-sufficient is better than being with someone you cannot love. Your kids are out of the house.....do it. It will hurt, because you have been married so long, but give up the material shit and try to make yourself happy.
