Greetings forum. This is my first post.
I am 48. Been married for 11 years - unhappily for the last 10! I have been hanging in there for my son who is nearly 10. I am frequently tempted to vanish without a trace - except for the little fellow.
I think I am resigned to staying the course for his sake - though my wife and I are utterly incompatible and I often wonder if I will survive through it and get out the other end.
I will most likely be 56 when my son finally gets a university place and I will consider that me and my wife as a mother and father have done more or less our best for him.
If you have had to endure an unhappy marriage for the sake of your children - I would love to know your thinking about this - how do you survive it? My mother suggested medication to get me through the years!
A depressing first post but that's how it stands.
