In my instance, the wife is a totally different person than the one I married. We've been married for 17 years, and my son (biological) is 15. I've basically hung in there the last few years for his sake. I have a great relationship with him, but not her. I've been weighing whether or not to leave, but for my son's sake, I've stayed. ... So, I'm 43 and looking at being miserable the rest of my life under the current situation.

Your son is 15. On his 18th birthday, you and he move out, and file for divorce. No child support, since he's an adult living with you. You'll be 46, which is not that old. Hang in there!

That seems to be the consensus. After swallowing life for so long, 3 more years seems like an eternity. I know your advice is what is best. I just hope I have the strength to follow it. Thanks again for your input, as I know its the right thing to do...
