How did you know when it was time to go?

I have been unable to make things work no matter what the effort, I love her and want things to work. I cannot talk to her without making things worse. We have children.

You are welcome here at MB. Read "Are You New Here?" on the Home page and anything else that looks interesting to you. Lots here to help you and many to share our thoughts with you.

When it's time, you will know. You aren't there yet or you wouldn't be asking. We never have enough information to make all of the really important decisions in our lives. So, we have to act on what little we do know and how we feel at the time. A decision like this will never be 100% clear.

You can decide to divorce at any time, either one of you or both. Are you reaching the "end of your rope?" Feel like you've tried everything and nothing seems to help? Well, you've come to a good place to get some objective thoughts and opinions.

Could you give us a little more information; whatever you're comfortable with. How long have you been married? Children's ages? Your ages? What seem to be the problems in your relationship?

I'm sorry for what has brought you here but glad that you've found us. We'll help you all we can. Post again and fill us in. We're here for you...

I know how you feel, I'm going through something very similar. Well meaning friends and family alike will advice you wether to stay or leave but always keep this in mind...you are the driver here. Only you will know when it is time. I like reading the MB, it's like therapy for me. I rely on prayers and emotional support from my friends too. Writing poetry is an outlet for me as well. Here's one I'd like to share with you that I feel applies. Hang in there ok?
How Long Is Enough? by: Sann

How long is enough, I asked myself
Is it measured by days and time?
Should it be when pain is no longer felt?
But the sting of eternal tears are mine?

Should it be when each fiber of love has died?
And each word is just left unsaid?
Or when life itself had exhaust me
And I wish that time itself is dead?

Should I wait with unfaltering hopes
For a miracle to change my path?
And revive the unity that once had life
But today is now scorned with wrath?

How long should I go before I turn?
Should it be when the road ahead is gone?
Or accept that in life there's much to learn
Perhaps... enough had already come.
