Hi Anita… I left for several reasons: loneliness, miscommunication, feeling unappreciated, lack of chemistry, poor communication skills, between us, Alcoholism on his part, me hitting him, lack of emotional intimacy, physical intimacy (pretty much only when he wanted it) …, temptation at work and me not wanting to repair the wounds.. because they were too deep (including several major fights) and I lost motivation to work on the relationship any longer.

To add… we have been together for 8 years and no kids, although I wanted kids.

Also my family and therapist were recommending that I leave because I was so unhappy.
