Divorce Support Forums: painful decision -advice anyone?

I have a similar challenge. My husband and I have been married for over 17 years, and although we are both still relatively young I know that we are and have been at the end for some time. My husband has stated that we have become “roommates” and he won’t live like that. My challenge is that he won’t leave. I used to worry and stress about trying to make him happy and I just don’t want to do it anymore.

We recently moved our family to another state following my company. We agreed that it was a good idea; however my husband has not been able to find suitable and comparable work. For months I have tried to stroke his ego and tell him its ok; however it doesn’t do any good. I know he is depressed about our situation and financially we are suffering, however our marriage has been in the dumps even before the move or financial problems. My husband recently advised me that he is looking for work where we used to live and quite frankly I welcomed the idea. However he has been flip-flopping from searching locally and back home. I really want him to go back and I also think it would be a better transition for our kids. But he won’t stick to it and I don’t know any other way to get him out of the house. Our marriage is over, but my husband won’t leave…HELP!

Ok, my situation may not be as similar to yours, but I didn't know where to start.
