US EditionDear Abby: My Husband Changed His Mind About Having Children, Then Our Marriage Fell Apart
The husband reversed plans for children after five years, moved out with extended family, and caused emotional distress leading his wife to consider divorce.
- Soon, Seth told his retired wife of 15 years he was moving out and bought a condo, relocating there with his extended family and leaving her alone.
- After five years of waiting, she learned he no longer wanted children after they bought their house, ending their plans for planned children.
- Daily drinking and sleep-disrupting behaviour increased household conflict as Seth drinks nearly all day, calls the wife horrible names, and estrangement from friends and family harmed her relationships.
- She reports feeling emotionally wrecked and fearful at home, saying the marriage is destroying her spirit and leaving her less independent, while Dear Abby advised Al‑Anon and licensed professional help.
- Lingering attachment complicates potential separation as the wife still cares for Seth and asks how to let go; her letter appeared in Dear Abby, written by Abigail Van Buren.
