Deciding to end your marriage is one of the toughest and most important decisions you'll ever make, so it's important that you're 100% certain that your marriage is really over before you start taking the next steps. If you're on this page, chances are that you've already made up your mind, but here are some reasons that your marriage may really be over: If you've already basically uncoupled. This means that you and your husband have separate friends, separate interests, don't spend time with each other, and don't really know what's going on in each other's lives. If your husband is no longer willing to try. If you've repeatedly brought up the problems in your marriage and your husband either promises to change and never does or flat-out refuses to change, then it may be time to leave. If you're in an abusive relationship, then get out. There are no good reasons to stay in an abusive relationship -- or to prolong your pain. If your relationship is truly abusive, then it may be best to get out ASAP and to figure out the rest once you're safe. If one or both of you has been repeatedly unfaithful. It's different if one of you has had a fling and has worked hard never to let it happen again -- but if cheating and flings are the status quo in your relationship, then it may be beyond saving. If you no longer feel like a team. If you have stopped making decisions together, communicating, or compromising, then it may be time to leave. If you can't agree on whether or not to have kids. If you're dying to have kids but your husband refuses, or vice versa, then there may be no point in continuing the relationship if you can't see eye-to-eye on this important matter. See if you can make this decision with a cool head. You should not decide to leave your husband in the heat of the moment, but after you've had some time to really think it over. See if you've tried everything and nothing's worked. If you've tried couples therapy, had many long conversations with your husband, and if both of you have attempted to change your ways but to no avail, then it may be time to leave. But if you've felt dissatisfied for a while and your husband seems to have no idea, it may be worth it to see if you can talk things through first. The steps below can help you make the plans you need to make to leave your husband secretly -- letting him know only as or after you walk out that door. This can be helpful if you're not sure how your husband will react, or if you think he'll try to stop you from leaving. But if you're both open to conversations, if he's very supportive, and if you're always honest and open with each other, then you may just want to talk to him first and see if you can work things out. You may be surprised by how many of your feelings your husband shares -- or by the lengths he's willing to go to not lose you. This doesn't mean that you should let your husband convince you to stay. But if you're on the fence and aren't sure if maybe you can really make things work, then talking to him can make a big difference. It may be hard, but this step can be vital in many ways. Leaving a marriage can be a volatile situation and staying quiet will allow you the time to prepare and establish yourself before you actually walk out the door. Tell only a few, close people who support your decision. Tell the people who can give you some help and guidance -- not people who can't keep it to themselves. If you don't want to talk it out with your husband and want to escape a bad situation, then it's better to keep it to yourself so you have time to figure out the details. If your husband knows about your plans and doesn't want you to leave, then he can try to thwart your plans or to make it very difficult for you to get things done. This may seem sneaky, but your goal should be to leave on the best financial footing. You don't want your husband to get in the way of that. It may be hard not to act once you've made your decision, but it could take between two to six months to plan an exit strategy that will help you keep your footing financially. Though you may be ready to walk out that door any second, know that it may be better in the long run if you take some time to get organized before you leave.

Place it in a saucepan and heat it until it begins to steam, but does not come to a boil. Remove the milk from heat. Pour the lemon juice into the warm milk and stir it slowly for several minutes.
