Puzzled decision

Is it better to divorce or stay unhappily married after 38 yrs of matrimony and I am 64 yrs old and we have an adult Son that cannot stand his Father (he was not a Father figure to him)
(I can handle living in separate room In the house we are so I do not have to live with him
Nothing seems to change even though we tried many times
Arguing with the similar situations every 4 months or so....
(Sometime I feel he does not like me but I know he loves me )
I tried talking to him of what I feel but he will not answer he will look at me and act kind of mad 😠 when I asked him

🤷🏻‍♀️ What to do ?
Should I stay or should I file for divorce without telling him and be over it
I know it is my decision but I need your opinions 🙏
Thank you

Re: Puzzled decision

I am sorry you are in this situation.

What do you want to do? If there were no barriers and you could just have what you wanted today, what would it be? Would you want to be on your own or would you want to be able to stay together?

Do you believe marriage counseling could help you both communicate better?

If you believe you would be happier living without him, then yes meet with a divorce attorney and make a plan.

If you really don't want to do that, can you structure your home that you can each live somewhat independently of each other. Can you create your own space in the home and build your own life outside the home without him?

Good luck!
