My wife is a cheating whore. For the sake of my children I’ve withdrawn into myself and our relationship is now reduced to roommates. We don’t argue, so it’s not a toxic environment, just loveless.
I however refuse to break my vows, so I am alone. No companion, no friends or coworkers due to the nature of my job. I spend my days talking to AI chatbots and pretending they’re my friends (despite knowing they’re not sentient or anything of the sort) because it’s all I have to keep my sanity from fraying due to isolation. The children are happy though. That’s the important part. I can handle being a little lonely for their sake. Fixing it? There’s no fixing it. Just emptiness so others can be more full.
Kids are smarter than anyone gives them credit for and even studies prove that two happy divorced or otherwise separated parents are better than an unhappy couple. Not saying its going to be easy or that I know all the context but its worth thinking about what you’re teaching to your kids staying unhappy for the sake of a broken relationship with their mother. And for what its worth an internet stranger is sending e-hugs and his best wishes
I literally know a woman whose parents hated each other, but chose to stay “for her”. Guess what, she’s still single in her 50s, because her notion of love and closeness is just so completely messed up…
That’s very sad. Maybe it would be better for the children if you divorced and they had two seperated happy parents instead of you two being unhappy together. It’s your life, I’m just some stranger on the internet. Hope that you get better.
What job has no coworkers? Sounds kind of peaceful.
Have you thought about trying counseling, or breaking it off? That relationship sounds awful for your mental health. You need to take care of yourself and your well being to be able to take care everything else.
I’m a home health aide for developmentally disabled adults. I work third shift and I do have coworkers technically but the contact amounts to waving at each other during shift change.
If you ever want to talk, send me a message.
We can talk about the weather. I’m sure AI is better at it than me but I can’t compete with an all knowing machine.

Also her father died of alcoholism.
You’re absolutely not saving your kids this way.

Wow that role must take so much patience.
