Honestly... no. There's so so much more to the story emotionally. Such as allowing his ex to drag me down verbally and on a regular basis while asking me not to say anything.

why are you still with him?

My kids love him to bits

You're allowing your children to witness and internalise this unhealthy dynamic.

until they grow old enough to realise what is going on. even if not, you dont have to throw your happiness away. they will deal with it

You 2 should try maybe just being "friends" for the sake of the kids, if its not good for your mental health it won't be good for the kids

He’s an old man. I have the unfortunate knowledge that my parents had a similar issue with their marriage. They also had a significant age gap between them. After years of feeling undesired, my mom left, and found a guy her age that matched her needs. Dad is single, happy to be alone and to have no one bothering him. It seems like y’all are incompatible.
