writes:I am 25 and my wife is 48 we got married for financial reasons only. We have been married for 5 years. I have hinted around about getting a divorce but she just laughs and changes the subject. I am ready to move on with my life and no there isn't another women in picture. I am a professional and want to pursue my career more aggressively but I feel trapped. I want her to start her own life without me in the picture and like wise for myself. I guess what I'm getting at is how do I approach her about this touchy subject? I have no problem with providing a home, car, and monthly living exspenses until she gets back on track. All I want is to become free again and live my life! Thanks in advance for any and all input regarding this subject.

Marrying someone for finacial reasons is very cold was it her money you married her for? and now you have your own you want out or did you think you were doing her a huge favour, and she had money then marraige is supposed to be for love.
Im in a very loving relationship my fiance is 23 and I am 45 we have been together 2yrs, No matter what age you are a commitment should be just that..
If you really dont care for her anymore without using the age as the problem then tell her and if like you say it was a marraige of convienience she will understand, But I feel she thinks more of you hunny than you think without the ego boost as someone said, I get very upset when people think im getting a huge ego boost that my partner is younger than me as not only is it presuming im with him for that reason its also a slate on him and that upsets me very much as we love each other very much.
Hunny you need to sit and talk to your wife and be honest as that is the only way you will sort this out it should have been that way from the start really so all you can do is hope for the best and try and talk seriously TAKE CARE WITH LOVE MANDY xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

That in itself tells us everything.........
Your 25 your life has just begun, she doesn't want to face that reality, it is scarry for her to start over, especially having someone so young as you, wow what an ego boost for her. Be straight forward and if she still doesn't listen, look for a place and get yourself set up and maybe she will realize, you are serious and its time to face the music, that you really are leaving her , you are too young to be in that predictament,,she will have to find someone her age. Good Luck!
