Divorce?

Question

 My husband causes me deep emotional pain, in the hardest way. I call it “silent treatment.” He knows that I struggle with feelings of abandonment, and yet this is exactly what I feel with him. It hurts so much.I am asking for the rabbi’s permission to divorce. I no longer have the strength to look for counselors. We had a rabbi guiding us before, but now he is dealing with something personal and is unavailable. I feel I can’t continue like this. It is, G-d forbid, even affecting my ability to serve Hashem properly.I want to move out and begin a new life. I don’t find people anymore like in the past, who would go out of their way to help and try to save my home. Please don’t send me to professionals, I can’t go through that.If possible, I am ready to pay for Rabbi Fried to come to us, hear my pain, and tell me and my husband directly what should be done. Or, if the rabbi can already give an answer now, then I ask for a blessing and success to end this marriage.I can’t take it anymore. I gave everything I had — but no more.

Answer
