They say that love lasts on average 7 years. If thats all there was to being married then it would only be a seven year commitment.
The average kid moves out when he or she is about 19. If it was "just for the kids" then a 20 year commitment should just about cover the average of 2.
Did you say anything in your marriage vows like "so long as I feel like it"? I don't think so. You say you've been married for thirteen years. Did it ever occur to you during that time that you and your wife needed to be friends? You signed up for the long haul. If you can't be happy now what makes you think that anything you do from this point will make you happy in the future? If you're gonna put all that EFFORT into a divorce. Why can't you put it into your marriage? I"ve been divorced. My parents were divorced (some coincidence, huh). I know what kind of effort divorce takes. I've also been married 17 years. That's a lot of work too! Make your choice, but remember no matter what you do your life has defininetly changed.
