How do you let him go when you still feel so strong for him that it hurts, but can't stand to be with him anymore? i love my husband, but I feel torn between happiness, which I don't feel with him anymore, and living in hell with him for my kids.What do I do?

They turn around when they get older and say that you should of left years ago. If you are not happy then dont stay. Get out and make a new life for yourself and your kids. You will be a lot happier and healthier person.
take care

Have prioratise yourself and your children.

i know it's easy for people to comment without any experience but i think that you shouldn't stay with someone just for the sake of your children. do you think your children would want you to stay in an unhappy marriage for them and your husband needs to know how you feel because it is unfair for him to think you are okay. if you feel you have given all you can give to this marriage and you have reached stale mate then i think it is time you put yourself first. your children will understand when they are older that sometimes life isn't as easy as first anticipated and that things go wrong but there is no point in staying in an dead marriage.do what you know is the best thing all round.
