My husband admitted he has been cheating on me for years. I’ve already been considering a divorce. I have a few degrees, I’m woman in a male-dominated career and I’m well respected. I have a good job and tons of friends. My husband hasn’t worked in years. I’m not sure how he fills his time but he seems to be happy with his life. <br><br>It’s not all bad. He’s a great dad and he’s very kind and a lot of fun. He’s also incredibly good looking and I’m a totally superficial woman; enough that it has kept me in this dead-end marriage for years. <br><br>We met young, we dated, we got married. That’s always the plan. I stayed in his hometown while he was in the military, and when he got out he decided to stay in the same town. He’s never moved more than 10 miles from his mom’s house and he’s almost 40 years old. I’ve been to every corner of the world for my work. I’ve lived in another country. I had big dreams for my life and I’ve achieved most of them, but a lot of them required me to live in this small town and no matter how hard I try I can’t ever really feel like I’m home. I hate the people here and I hate living in the middle of nowhere. <br><br>When we had our kids, he was a great dad and a good husband. He was involved and he helped a lot. When I started traveling, things changed. He would get really lonely. He stopped going out with his friends. He quit his job and stopped looking for another one. He stopped going to the gym. I’ve been on the road for almost a year at this point and sometimes I worry he isn’t even taking care of himself.<br><br>I started thinking about a divorce and he confessed that he had been cheating. I wasn’t surprised at all. I kind of figured it and maybe even expected it. <br><br>I don’t know if it matters at this point. I don’t get any money from him. He doesn’t really do any of the parenting. He doesn’t do any of the domestic work. It’s been almost a year since I’ve even seen him. Sometimes I forget he even exists. Am I just staying in a dead marriage for no reason at all?
