I've been on HN for like 6 years, so I needed a throwaway.
Married for over 10 years. No biological kids together but we do care full-time for 2 kids. My wife and I get along great. I love her. We have fun together. It almost feels like we are friends more than spouses though. We sleep separate too because she snores and generally restless and I need quiet (ear plugs and a mask). I also only sleep 4 hours.
I think I am ready for a change. I have goals still in life. I'll never accomplish them or be given the chance to accomplish them. I've always locked myself away and worked on my ideas. Since being married I can't. I don't know when the last time was that I worked days straight hacking out a rough idea for a project. I miss that.
I've talked to my wife about it. She says she wants me to be happy, that I'm a great husband and if this is what I need to do she understands.
So why am I posting? I'd like thoughts on this? Did I miss thinking about this decision in some key aspect. Any light to be shed before I decide to change my life?
