Re: Breaking up

Oh, wow! From reading your post, I'm gathering that you have been with him since you were 15 and he was 20? No 20-year old should be dating a 15 year old! IMO, your parents should have intervened. After all, you were still a minor at the time while he was considered to be an adult.

But that's all water under the bridge now. You call him your "spouse" --- I take it that you are now married to him? You don't mention children, so I also take it that there are no children involved?

If so, then I would say go ahead and end the marriage, if that's what you want. To be honest, if there are children involved, I would say work hard on keeping things together before giving up.

You're quite right in that you have had no time to be on your own and figure out what it is that you want in life. So, if you are very unhappy and are feeling trapped, then move on. Don't let guilt hold you back. Besides, why does it have to be him that moves out? Why don't you make plans to move out? Tweet
