  I am so sorry to hear you are going through tough times (I haven't read your other posts) And yes...it makes total sense. I was married to a man for 19 yrs (remarried now for 8 yrs to someone else) I was unhappy for a very long time. I had a beautiful home and 2 beautiful girls. I really wanted the marriage to work, in the beginning, and tried counseling several times. I think mostly for myself. I really new deep in my heart that I wanted out of the marriage but, didn't know how or when to do it. My X was an abusive alcoholic. I think what scared me the most was...what am I going to do, where am I going to go, am I going to be able to make it on my own. There is never a "right" time to do something like this....I know....But, believe me, your heart will tell you when it's time to walk away and not look back. The thing you need now IS your friends. I wish I were there to give you a hug! If you ever need anyone to vent to please pm me and I will send you my personal e-mail address.  
My heart truly goes out to you 
Hugs, Brenda
