Wow,\nAlot of other husbands would have loved to have been married to you.\nNow you basically have been doing everything already on your own. Now it is time for you to step up to the plate and find you another place to live or move him out and get a divorce.\nThere are others out there that would love to be a part of your life.\nWhy put yourself in prison the rest of your life.\nGet off your duff and go out and enjoy life start over\nBlessed be

i think if its an abbusive relationship then they  should leave, but if u just leaving 2 b with some 1 else then u r wasting your time cuz the new person could always leave u and then u will regret it and it  will b 2 late 2 go back to your spouse u left.

You leave. Its not fair to anyone, Its not being true to yourself and its not being faithfull to your wedding vows and you have NO business being there. Kids or not, that situation is not good for anybody and no one can be happy and its not fair to anyone.You have one life to live and you shouldnt be miserable just because you made a promise to someone. People change and things happen.

I dont think its a cowards way. It depends on the situation. I told my wife that, but it was because we were in an "angry relationship" in which the love had faded away. I was honest with her. I said I want to leave to see if I will miss you I dont expect you to wait but its something I have to do. I didnt go searching for someone new, I was still hurting...I just wanted time apart to see if I would miss her or want to be with her again....so in my opinion sometimes it is what it is.. a trial to see if thats what you want. just like test driving a car to see if you like it.

Nope. Once someone states that the love is gone..Well that's just it.\nMove on, and get someone who deserves you :)\n\nBest of luck

I have mixed feelings about this one. I fell out of love with my husband years ago. I stayed because he was all I knew and we have 2 kids. My mistake was that i didn't confront him when i began to notice I didn't love him any more. Instead, i  told myself it'll get better. But it got worse.\n\nIn my experience, once it's gone, it's gone. I am now divorced and am OK with it. You are right about there is something in a woman's eyes. My husband said the same thing to me.\n\nI'm sorry I couldn't give you something more positive to stand on.

Whats wrong with you. Of course not.If you even think about leaving the one you love for someone who you like, then you probubly dont really love that person to begin with.

Of course. To stay with someone who loves you out of a sense of obligation is not fair to the one who loves you. No matter how much they might hurt.

Yes-absolutely. Your spouse may become a Christian while attempting to raise his children correctly.\nUnless this unsaved spouse has shown you that to stay with him your life will be miserable. But you do not mention any problems, only that one is saved and one is not.

When a person falls in love, they don't want it to end, even when their beloved no longer feels the same.  They hold onto their own feelings and ignore those of the other person.

if you truly love your wife/husband, you wil undoubtedly want to keep them.  if you don;t know then you don;t love.  counseling won;t work.  seperation might give u a chance to fall in love with this person again.  if you're not game for that, divorce them.  it's unfair to both of you to stay married if there is no love.

My personal opinion is that if 2 people live together they are more willing to work at staying together knowing that they can just walk out of the relationship. You try harder to get the other person because you love them and are willing to sacrifice your all to stay together. When you get married that piece of paper is like a prison cell. You begin to think you own the other person and more likely than not you start telling the other person what to do. This then starts tearing the relationship apart. Some people think once the ring is on the finger you can tell them what to do and when to do it. It doesn't work.

Not sure.  I'd feel pretty heartbroken, and probably would be very near to ending the marriage.  It depends on whether or not my husband was sorry.  Haven't had this happen to me, so I don't know.
