You will think I am crazy
Dear Aunt Anna,
My friends think I have it made. I am older. My husband has a ton of money. I have a new car. A beautiful house. Whatever I ask for, he gives me. But I have no emotional relationship with him. I do not share his bed. I am living with a stranger. He is nice I guess, and pays for whatever I want. I have not had to work in decades. Yet I am thinking of divorce. Please tell me what to do.
Older but not wiser
Dear OBNW,
Your situation is more common than you may think. You have options. The first is therapy. For yourself to see if you can live with your life this way, With your husband to see if change is possible.
Life as a single will be so much different than it is for you now. If you have your own source of funds, then you may be okay. But even with a generous divorce settlement, you will not have the financial resources that you now enjoy. Only you can tell if the change will be worth it. And you may not know until your divorce is years behind you. But I can tell you that you are NOT happy now. Otherwise you would not have written me. Good luck. Please let me know what you decide.
Aunt Anna
