I have been married 17 years and am at my wit's end! My Husband is driving me insane. I can't even tolerate being in the same room as him! Being from the Indian community, I'm well aware that a divorce will bring about gossip. We have two boys and he's always showered me with extravagant gifts to appease me. His flaws are that he's really possessive and I've finally reached my breaking point. Controlling and honestly always felt a part of me being repressed. I know that my boys and I will be in a happier place without him. Any mummies who have been through a divorce? Any advice appreciated.

May I know what exactly he does to annoy you to the point of no tolerance? Has he been disrespectful, mean or unfaithful? Could it just be a case of being together for too long, being around each other all the time -- familiarity breeds contempt. Perhaps you need a 3rd party to mediate and listen to both sides. A counselor would be good but if are not comfortable, asking a neutral family member or friend can help too. Alternatively, you can sit down and figure out when it started to be intolerable to be around your husband. Your husband seems to still care and love you so maybe you need to re examine your side of the equation.
