The path ahead feels long. Many years ago I began a personal journey. I was looking for sustainable happiness. The good news is, I found it. But while I spent years looking closely at who I was, I realized that my relationship with the kids' father had to change and be just platonic. It should have always been that way, I just could not admit it to myself. For a year and a half we've been living this way. We are closer now than ever before because I have told my truth. Yet, it is a bit lonely (oddly) because so many people close to me don't know and I struggle with that at times.

Continuing here: For instance, the kids don't know and my parents don't know, and none of his family knows except his God son. It is hard to say why I should feel so disconnected. I have so many blessings. I am literally happy... but it has been tough. If anyone on FS is going through something similar to a slow-motion divorce I'd appreciate any connection. I'm apologizing in advance for not being able to manage direct messages. I feel like my head will explode if I try and squeeze that into my life right now.

How do I separate from a man I've known since I was 23? He knows more about me than anyone else. He is a good, good man... I'm so glad he is the father of my boys. I will continue later, I think.

Very sad situation. A long time to have a life that seems to be on hold.

Thank you Morti. It is ok, I am not sad... I am feeling like I do not know who I am. We have been working through this thoughtfully for a year and a half. We will always be friends, that is for sure.

There are plenty of marriages out there that contain roommates rather than lovers. If both of you are content with the situation, there's no need to divorce. It only becomes a problem if one of you falls in love or even lust with someone else. But if you're really friends, a frank and honest discussion is possible.

Thank you JB, for now, we are 100% fine. I don't worry about getting involved with someone based on looks. I am only interested in genuine, deep connection. I already have that with the kids' father. I am looking for that and mutual attraction. But not right now. Not yet. Right now, I need to know who I am.. ❤

What does your husband want? Many men might interpret your withdrawal from intimacy as a green light to have meaningless affairs. I hope you are ready for that conversation — open marriage. I am glad to hear that you’re at peace with your situation, as I am sure it is a load off your mind.

Thank you, JB. My husband and I both want peace through this process. We want to not damage each other. We want to bring harmony to a process that is typically filled with discord. We are on the path that feels right... just wish there were others in similar situations I could talk to.
