Dear Wife,

I may as well state it plainly. I believe in divorce! For your sake, for his sake and for the sake of your child. And apparently you’re not even married, but you get my point. I think you have responsibility to your partner and even more so to your child but in the big picture, I believe your primary responsibility is to yourself.

Further, I believe that when you take care of yourself, you not only take care of your child, but also act in the best interest of everyone on this planet. Yes!

Close to home, your son is watching you and your partner, and learning how things are in the world from you. So right now he’s learning things are pretty shitty. People aren’t happy and people don’t love each other. And if this is all he is exposed to, what do you think his odds are of creating a different type of life for himself? They’re not good.

In the larger picture, what are you doing for the collective? Well you can’t be doing much, feeling as lousy as you do. And is that right? What would you be producing in this world if your circumstances were different?

So you see what I think. Not only do I think you have a right to leave. You have responsibility not to “waste your life”, as you say. And you’re 23 years old. Do you realize you may live another 50 years? And your son another 70 or 80? That’s a lot of years! To suffer or thrive, that is.

So with that in mind, I’d suggest you transcend the tendency to sacrifice yourself that comes so naturally to Pisces, and commit to carving out and creating a life that will satisfy.

Good luck.
