How do you leave a marriage?
I am miserable. Not in love and not attracted to him. We have tried it all - counselling, date nights, scheduling sex, seeing other people, being adventurous, holidays hell even tried having another baby!
But we still aren't happy. Good friends and I think we can separate and coparent well.
How do you leave a marriage when it just doesn't work? We have a wonderful life "on paper". Good jobs, mortgage, nice house, kids..etc.
I am more unhappy and want out but he is happy to keep the status quo and plod along pretending everything is fine.
Surely there has to be more to life than groundhog day?
Although, he is good father and helps with the kids. How do I do it on my own with no help? Am I crazy? Am I supposed to stay and just never be happy?
I want my kids to see my happy. To actually see a true, in love, affectionate marriage. I don't even think I know what love is and I hate affection from my husband. What do I do? Where do I go?

You just make a plan and do it.
If he is a good dad you’ll be happy for him to have the kids a lot so you will get plenty of breaks from hands on parenting.
I'm struggling with the same thing, I told him over a year ago I wanted to separate but haven't found the courage to do it. Today is Mother's day and he has done absolutely nothing about it. I think it's a matter of reaching deep within yourself and knowing there's something better out there.
Will you be happier on your own? Or happier with someone else. Just consider that you may not meet anyone else.
