I Wasted 45 Years in an Unhappy Marriage - Here's What I Learned

Описание: I'm 76 years old, and 7 years ago I made the hardest decision of my life - I left my wife after 45 years of marriage.
Most people thought I was crazy. Too old. Throwing everything away. But the truth is, I was finally choosing to live.
In this video, I share my story - not to judge anyone else's choices, but to speak to those of you who might be sitting in quiet unhappiness, telling yourselves it's too late to change. I spent decades believing that same lie.
I talk about:

Why I stayed for 45 years in a marriage where I felt invisible
The health crisis that finally woke me up at 68
How therapy changed everything
What it's like to start over at 70
The unexpected freedom I found
What I wish I had known sooner

This isn't about blaming my ex-wife or painting myself as a victim. It's about the cost of living someone else's life instead of your own. It's about the invisible ways we disappear, year after year, until we barely recognize ourselves.
If you're watching this and something resonates, you're not alone. And it's never too late.
