When You Are Just Tired!

I could use a little advise. I have been married and living together for 8 years. We have been together for almost 20 - met my senior year in high school. But now I am considering a divorce. In a way we have grown together and times were good and bad. We've loved, fought (not physically), and broken up at least 10 times. Each time we've missed one another, worked things out and things were good...for a while. BUT, now I am sick to death of "working it out". Although we argue, we are still friends, but friends does not make a strong marriage. We're not in our twenties any more and have more responsibilities. We cannot go 5 days without him doing something financially "stupid" or getting upset about something. We have two beautiful children (7-year old Twins) who would have a difficult time without Daddy at home. I feel like we're going to become a statistic. In short, I am tired but fearful to let go. Fearful of being alone, feeling old, overweight and undatable. In addition to handling the possible repercussions of children dealing with divorce, additional money strain, and not having my friend around. Although it feels like it, I can't be the only one going through this DRAMA! So, I could use a little advise.

Welcome to the board goddess_teecee,
Since you mentioned that he does things that are financially stupid, I recommened being with a financial advisor to help work through this. I also suggest marriage counseling.
