Default Stuck in toxic marriage

I'm a middle aged man stuck in a toxic marriage. I'm struggling between the thoughts of getting a divorce and staying in the marriage for my kids. Where can I get some help and advises?

More details would help.

What are the main issues?

Why do you call your marriage toxic?

How many years married?

How old are the kids?

Hey, Chmn2000, welcome!

You might consider looking through different threads on the 'Considering Divorce or Separation' board on this site. MANY people are in a similar situation as you, and you can read advice that may be pertinent to you, as well. You can also ask more questions there.

chnm2000,

A toxic marriage is by definition a marriage/relantionship that emotion and/or physically abuses you. If you could take a moment to reply with specifics we could give you better advice. Good luck and welcome.
