Honestly, I feel a little strange giving you advice. After all, you have been married for 16 years. But, I'm going to try to help out anyway. The other party is asking you not to do that to them and the kids, because you have been together for so long, and that is something to consider, because what happens if you live life without them, and the grass wasn't really greener on the other side? I suggest time away from each other, and the family life. No, that isn't exactly a separation, although to a point you do give one another the time to be apart and grow. You can't leave your family without giving it a shot, so take a night out or so, and go out with your friends again. Find a hobby you forgot you had. And then decide from there.... because maybe what's missing isn't from your marriage, maybe it's something that you lost inside of you.
