leaving unhappy marriage after years of unhappiness

I've been unhappy for years, feeling unloved and unappreciated in my marriage, and I'm finally ready to leave, but I'm scared of the financial consequences.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had left sooner and prioritized my own happiness."
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't stay in a toxic relationship for fear of being alone, it's better to take the risk and find true love and happiness."
