My car just waits around patiently for me to turn her on and drive her...You make a lot of sense. One of DW's friends is a family practice therapist, and she believes if some people put as much time into their marriages as they do buying a car, more marriages would be saved..........

Raygun, sticking with the one you love might be a better option than going it alone,speaking from experience the bachelor life can turn into just a different kind of hell.
Motivating those kids to get independent should be your main priority
Here's some Guy humor to put things in perspective http://funny2.com/mensrules.htm
Next no matter what, I am going to start pushing these kids MY way with her support or not.
Something I find very interesting about this thread and the dominant tenor of advice given-"Hang in there", "it is probably your fault", "you should cater to her more", and just above, "stay, your life will suck alone".
Does anyone think this is the advice that would be given to a woman who presented the same story as Raygun?
Me neither.
Ha
I don't indulge myself in prescribing solutions for other people. I just was struck by the interesting aspect that I pointed out above.So we can assume that your solution is for him to get the hell outta Dodge?
So I guess we currently married folks are roundly screwed...
Perhaps us long-time marrieds are advocating sticking it out due to fear or envy. Or perhaps some of the divorcés are rationalizing the sunk costs of a decision that's not easily changed.But if you were to poll the divorced people on this board, I think you might find that more than a few would say that their post-divorce lives definitely do not suck.

When you're suffering in a rocky marriage, it's hard to imagine that a divorced life could be any worse. For a good example of that thinking there's always Diane Medved's "The Case Against Divorce".
Seek counseling - it may be the best decision the two of you have ever made.
