How to flee a loveless arranged marriage?
I am a 52-year-old male. At 28 I was forced into a marriage arranged by my mother. My wife and I now have three daughters, ages 22, 21 and 10.

We are a broken, very dysfunctional family. For 21 years, my three children grew up together with my alcoholic, psychologically abusive, and latent homosexual husband who gave minimal material support to us—until we separated later.
There was a time I went out of town. While there, a guy friend of mine attended to me and hung out in my hotel room, with my consent. One thing led to another—we kissed, we touched and we tasted (for lack of a better word).
My husband and I are planning to work overseas, for higher wages of course. But we have two kids, aged 4 and 2, who I think are too young to be left without our personal guidance. My husband is unaware of my uncertainties because this will only start a quarrel.
