Is it time to walk away?

[amg55]

We’ve been married for over twenty years, no kids. The past few have been miserable. It seems I’m always saying or doing the wrong thing. Then she’s full on beast mode, full of anger, tantrums, forever bringing up the things in the past that upset her. Ive been so close from walking away so many times. I’ve been to therapy hoping I can be a better person for her. I’ve tried and tried and always feel like I’m walking on egg shells.

We are financially independent and we should be enjoying our lives but we aren’t. I know I’m gong to be hit financially hard but I can always make that money back. I’m in my late 50s, healthy and mentally sound, not sure for how much longer though.

What was your tipping point? What held you back from walking away ? How did you mentally cope with the financial loss? I’d love to hear your input.
