my husband works out west. we have 3 children.he left to work out there 4 yrs ago. makes empty promises to move back home. has tried 3 times already but the money is not good enough here in NB as it is in AB. so i have been a single parent and he has been a paycheque. i feel i need to be happy, have a partner, feel wanted as a woman. i love him but unfortunately i have fallen out of love. he is a good man and father when he is home. i don't know what to do. how to seperate. how to be independant(have relied on his income i have given up my career to be a stay at home mom) i want to to to school. how do i get funding? what steps should i take . i'm scared to go it alone(even though i have been actually doing this for 4yrs).

I wish you all the best. I am going through a separation right now after 20 years of marriage. We have two teenage boys. Even though our breakup has been amicable it is still a difficult and challenging process.

My only advice would be to communicate with your husband aand make sure he understands your needs and that you have exhausted all attempts to get waht you need in the marriage (counselling). Hopefully that process will allow you and your husband to remain committed to doing what's best for the kids and remain solid co-parents even if you no longer want to be married.

He will need to continue to support you and the children financially and hopefully that will allow you to get some schooling and become more financially independent in the long run.

Good luck.
