Thinking of leaving my husband after 45 years .

Speaking from experience, life will be much better! You will be free! I’m 64 and have been divorced for 5 years now. As others have said, you need to speak to a solicitor and get sound advice. Divorce is expensive but don’t let that put you off. Mine cost about £16K in the end because my ex-husband dragged his heels and tried to control everything. However, as it turns out, it was the best £16K I’ve ever spent!

At 65 you are young, time spread your wings and live, you need to be outgoing with lots of activities even work to fill your time.

Do it. Plan ahead and get your finances in order. You have a lot of living left to do. I wish you well

Leave NOW! I left an abusive husband after nearly 42 years of marriage. I was 63. 6 years later I am so happy on my own with support from my family. I should have left years earlier. Like a previous poster said don’t be like me!

A lot happier and you will worry a lot less, well that's how I feel east12. You have been married a lot longer than I was, but please don't waste anymore of your life with this man.
My ex had a great job, we had the big house, cars, holidays, but what is the point of it all when you are unhappy. I promise you that you will get through it all and come out the other side far happier. Honestly.
I've been in my own now for 12 years, no more men, dogs are far better companions.
Hope you make the right decision, it's time for you now to be happy, you deserve to be ?
