Been in a broken marriage of 25 plus years out of which last 14-15 years there’s literally been no intimacy whatsoever. I was waiting for my child to grow up and now that he’s graduated, we agreed to separate before September when our current lease expires. I’ve suggested she can take whatever she wants including assets and cash. Ofc she will also get a monthly allowance. We are literally living like strangers in an apartment although she cooks most of times for us both for which I’m always grateful. My main concern is, still there’s no peace. Although I don’t react and spend my time mostly inside my room, she continues to taunt me on things like maintenance work or groceries and other household stuff. I really don’t know what to do other than keeping myself busy with work, sports, fitness and late evening by numbing myself with couple of drinks. Edit: Since most had similar reaction, I thought will write here. True, need to find my spine. It’s just that I’m built a little differently. Tbh, I cheated on her during the initial years when she had post-partem depression for 2 years and although she never got to know, that guilt haunts me even today. Secondly, she helped raise a beautiful human being for which I’m eternally grateful. I was always hopefull that she will find her beautiful self back and that hope is also what kept me in this marriage albeit broken. I’m sure this bit may trigger some of you all more.
