Should I leave my husband

in

I have been married for 9 years and we have 2 daughters together ages 8 and 1. We also have his daughter age 14 living with us and has been since she was 9 years old. My husband and I got married when I was 19 years old and he was 40. I came right out of living with my dad and another boyfriend to live with him and 3 short months later we were married because the pastor of his church said we couldn't live together without being married. I am now about to turn 29 years old and want to stay but also want to leave. I want to do the right thing in God's eyes and not disappoint him but I am not happy and don't know if I will ever be with him.

Pro arguments

Agreed

I agree with That ^
Do what makes you happy. He sounds like a decent guy. Maybe he's just in a slump right now. Talk to him about the things he needs to change and give it some time. If things dont change or he's not trying to make a change after awhile I would say first step is seperating and seeing where it goes from there. Sometimes all men need is a good scare.

Con arguments

Do What Will Make U Happy

I know you probably dont want to hurt his feelings or break up your family, but I think you should do what makes you happy. If your not happy with him you should think about maybe separating for a while and seeing how things go before going the divorce route. Sometimes you think the grass is greener on the other side, when it really isnt. But then again sometimes it is greener on the other side!
