Been broken up for awhile..dated other people and developed serious feelings for someone else. It didn’t work out but I thought I had moved on till my ex moved to the same city and we started hanging out since I was helping them settle in. Saw we changed so much..in a good way and got along so well Yesterday he pocket dialed me nonstop and I heard his date even when I didn’t want to. I felt bad and now I’m questioning if I never really moved on.. it sucks how much it hurts even now after 2 years

How many married professionals with young families are just sticking it out “for the kids”? Marriage is very dead and has been for a while. Young kids 4 and 1. My wife and I don’t fight, but share 0 interests outside of the kids and can’t stand to be around each other. I’m so ready to leave… I just can’t bear the thought of doing it to my children even though another part of me feels like wife and I would both be better parents if our lives were separate. Anyone else done a similar analysis?
