Been there from the other end.

I was the wife aka. sugar mamma.

I left after 7 1/2 years (16 years together total). We were high school sweethearts, but we had no children. Always think of the kids when deciding to leave. Would there environment be better if you and your wife weren't together?

I've been in the same situation. It doesn't get any better. I got out but each person has to make their own decision. The big difference was that I didn't have kids.

It sounds like you need some family counseling. Perhaps this will help get things back on track. You seem like a good husband and Father. From personal experience I can tell you that the job as a full time Mother is more difficult than we males often can relate to. I cannot imagine myself staying at home 24/7 and maintaining the house, kids and the role of a good mate as well. It would not only be confining (which most males cannot relate to) but B O R I N G. I imagine she is feeling pretty worthless as a result. Perhaps she needs a little less criticism and a little more praise from you. Keep in mind when you have kids the parents needs and wants always fall down in importance to the needs of the kids. Kids basically want security, love, attention, support and a feeling of value to turn out ok. Please don't lose sight of priorities. If you love her and your kids I would suggest that you already have what is important. Figuring out a way to bring it back to where it was is going to be difficult but worthwhile. Drop your attitude, ego, demands and criticisms at the door before you enter and listen carefully to what she is saying and doing.

Good luck.

What would your life be like without your wife and kids?
Do you understand how much alimony you are required to pay?
A divorce will cost at least $3,500 without complications.

I see worse on a weekly basis. Doing what I do makes me value what I have at home.

I was married for 5 years, things went bad, i decided to leave, she found out she was pregnant, i stuck it out for another two years, we tried to spice things up (in a big way, role play, etc, just totally off the wall shit, i won't fuck you up on details...), I looked after my beautiful son during the day while she went to work, then i went to work at night, any time we were together, we either fucked or faught... i decided that even though we had a kid, it was best to leave while he was young, he'd never know of us as a couple, better being brought up with us apart, than brought up with us fighting... my divorce came through a month ago, she's re-married already, my life is a mess, she gives my son stability, if you're gonna leave her man, do it because you have to, not because you're having an off period, the stuff the ex and i tried in order to try and re-ignite the passion didn't really work for us (although opened my eyes big time!) but sometimes it works for others, if you love her, try and do something, if you don't love her, you shouldn't be with her my friend... good luck, this stuff is never easy!
