My wife has been depressed forever. Hasn't worked in 15 years even though we've had enormous financial woes. Past abuse of alcohol. She has not been to the doctor for even basic care in over five years. Sleeps all the time...she is basically a glorified babysitter (there to get the kids off to school and there when they get back - most of the time). Intimacy is infrequent at best (once every six to eight weeks) and she won't kiss or hug unless I'm on my way out the door. I've tried everything short of filing for divorce - but I'm scared of screwing up the kids (10 and 12). Her family, and mine said they would support me, but I wish there was a better alternative. I don't want to spend my next 40 years unhappy, without intimacy and broke. I want my kids to have it better (I work, parent from work, do homework when I get home, cook dinner most of the time, do 90% of the laundry, cub scouts, girl scouts, etc...) Should I just file for divorce and let the chips fall?
