    I would excuse myself and go to the local store and pick up some boxes and help him gather his stuff.

    Let's face it, he don't want to be there why hold him back?

    The sooner his butt is out the door the sooner you can get back in the hunt for the forever guy. Someone more fun to spend your life with.

    Let your husband go to the girl he thinks will solve his problems only to find out what he thinks he wants and what he really needs are two different things and no one can give him either.

    I would say that we only have an X number of years left until she was 18 and thank him for being considerate. Basically sarcastic. I would want to hurt him as much as he hurt me with that statement, but with time depending on the doubts that I would start to have about the relationship I wouldn't even try to work it out. There is no point in staying with someone because they feel obligated.

    I would sit down and talk to my husband. After 17 years you shouldnt make any rash choices. However, if he truly feels the only reason he is in the marriage is because of your daughter than perhaps you should consider your options. Divorce being one. You deserve to have someone in your life that loves you as much as you love them.

    I'd tell him "Then don't let it hit you in the @ss on the way out, buddy!" and get rid of him! It's no use staying together for kids. They can always sense the tension and lack of love in the home anyways. It's better to just make the break clean and try to find someone who can make a real, lasting emotional comittment.

    personally, i would crank up ray charles' "hit the road, jack" and start putting his stuff in a pile near the door. that's a pretty shitty thing to say to someone, and obviously said with the intention of hurting you. even a 50 year relationship wouldn't be worth staying together and being miserable if you've got that comment haunting the two of you.

    First, I would like to know why he feels that way. Second, does he still? If the answer is yes he does then the relationship would be over and I would leave.

    He better start packing because to us that would be a total insult. Why would you want to bring that up and now what up with him. Whta he is trying to say is because of his daughter he stay around.
