Thank you for your response. My head is saying to do exactly this, and if I’m honest my heart is no longee in the relationship either, but preparing myself for the fallout of getting him to actually leave is my main concern. He can become very nasty when angry (Never physically violent, but very aggressive verbally) and the last time we talked about ending it, he tried to pull the “I’d have nothing to live for” card. He’s quite good at ‘punishing’ people and I know he would make things as difficult as possible for me and I don’t want this to effect the children more than it needs to. I’ve mentioned to him the idea of seeing a mediator, as I’d like support in moving on, but I doubt he’ll be interested. Good luck with you situation as well. And thanks again
