I want to get a divorce... what would you do if your parents told you after 30 years that they weren't happy?

Q: After having a very good family life together as a whole, where your parents got along and you had great times and memories together and after 25-30 years of marriage, your parents said that they want to get a divorce. How would you feel?? How would you feel if they told you that they always loved eachother but weren't in love?? Would you feel like they essentially lied to you for all those years?? Or would you feel that they were the best of friends and content with living that way so it was ok?? What if your parents explained to you that they didn't want you to grow up having to deal with divorced parents and then blame them so they stayed together until the kids were grown and could understand. Please help me... I have been in a happy but no in love marriage for the last 10 years. I want to get a divorce but its a catch 22. I want to stay with my husband because we are good friends and get along - its bearable enough to fake it - my father died when I was 9 and I don't want my kids to grow up without a father in the house. But if I get a divorce, then they will blame us for ruining their lives - like they always do. So we are considering living parallel lives as a married couple and when the kids get older, explain to them and ask them what they feel about it. Slowly, we could ween them off and get a amicable divorce. i don't mind sacrificing these years for my kids. But I also don't want them thinking that we were deceiving them and that all our memories are a sham. Because they wouldn't be to us. We have always been able to be happy around the kids and we do get along as best friends but that is it - we are not romantically involved. What do you think about this plan?? What would you do?? if your parents were to come to you with this scenerio, what would you do? I feel that before my own children decide to get in serious relationships they should know about ours so they can better decide who to marry themselves. i have a son and 2 daughters and my biggest fear is that my son will marry someone and never show them romance or affection because we are not. i also don't want my daughters to marry someone for practical reasons. i want them to be head over heels in love with someone - even if they are not the most ideal candidate (yes that's right). i would rather my daughters marry someone caring, loving, make them feel like #1 in their lives and most of all make them laugh then marry someone practical and boring. i could care less if they had to live in a box as long as they were happy and most of all IN LOVE!! I feel that my kids need to know this before they marry someone after seeing our version of marriage. Does anyone understand me? Please help.

A: This may not be the answer you want but hear goes. You sound like you are a very thoughtful person so please give this a try. Their is a book Called The Five Love languages . It' may help you understand what love is, Love is different to each person. If you will both read it you may see where you went wrong. I have seen it work for many people. Because of the work I do I am involved with couples when things bad at the end. So if you will both read this I think I will help. just use a Highlighter. and you use pink and e can use yellow. Then you can both see what stands out as love to the other person. It will really open your eyes. Good luckjp
