Intro

Hi, I've been lurking here for a bit, and decided it's time to introduce myself. I'm 33, been married a little over 5 years, I have a 15 yr old step-son, and my H and I decided about 2 weeks ago to divorce. We still live together for now (he will probably move out late Feb/early March), and are planning on telling SS this coming weekend, we were waiting to get more details worked out before talking to him. The easiest way to explain what happened between us is that we have grown apart, and our lifestyles are no longer compatible and neither of us is willing to adapt. I don't think it helped that I had to move to another state for work 2.5 years ago. I was gone 9 months, and came back to visit every 3-4 weeks. While I was gone my H got used to more of a single guy lifestyle and has been unwilling to give it up, and I don't want a husband who parties that much or is gone as much as he is. We were friends for years before we started dating, and still get along well. I am hopeful that we can remain friends and that I can continue to be an active part of my step-son's life. It is difficult, but I feel like this is the best thing for all of us. From what I have read so far on this board, it seems as though everyone here is very nice and supportive. Thank you for reading this.
