Question

Getting divorced, will it be best for kids or am i selfish?
Hi, after 12 years of marriage I've decided I had enough. I am so tired of being unhappy and unloved all the time. Even my daughter (9) says that she doesnt think we love each other cause we never hug and kiss.We dont, havent for 12 years and I realised I want mors. Besided suffering financially for 12 years I still have to be in home where there is no affection towards me or kids. Am I selfish for wanting more from life? Am i selfish for wanting my kids to experience parents that are affectionate towards each other and towards them?I am so confused.

There's nothing selfish about wanting more from life than you describe receiving. Kids are not so much damged by a divorce which they can understand, as by living in a loveless and sniping mariage between fraught parents.
