I have been in a failed marriage for about 7 years. My husband is self employed and provides for the family but we have no communication or relationship. I wanted to divorce 3 years ago but i stuck with it for my three girls. Three years ago our finances were better, but now that the economy is hurt, so it my husband's business. WHile i would like to file for divorce, i know that the courts would say that my share of the business would not be much as business has been bad. So, now i feel like i have to stay in a failed marriage until business gets better so that i can secure more of a cushion for me and my girls. This economy is actually keeping me in a marriage i dont want. Its forcing me to cohabitate with a man i dont love. I just wanted to vent. Thanks.
