I am 53 and been married for 23 years. My wife has been an alcoholic our whole marriage. I have stayed for my kids because I don't have the heart to use this against her in court but I know from experience what it is like to separate and have them with her. I have put my own wants and needs 2nd to take care of my kids. Their happiness is most important to me but I miss passion and someone I can talk to and be in love with. I played sports professionally and love to stay active and she has no interest in that either. We have nothing at all in common and like I said she is an alcoholic and drunk half the time. I am not writing this to get a bunch of opinions on what I should do trust me I have thought about it more than anyone could. I am just venting. It feels like I have wasted my life and I never thought I would ever been in this position.
