myluck35 Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I've posted my story in another section but I'll just give a brief summary. My 16 year old marriage has been going downhill for 13 years. We'd talk about making it better but didnt do much about it. I strated to stray because he was never much of a husband to me physically or emotionally. He strayed too, and had a serious affair for 8 or so years. My flings were never serious but I know I did wrong. Anyway, I found out and the emotions I felt caught me by surprise ( jelousy...why her and not me, neglect.....i thought you were stressed out and didnt want intimacy). I wake up and it just makes me sick. I'd like him to leave but he doesnt want to because of the kids. We've always said well stay for the kids because our children are difficult. But everytime I look at him I feel like crying.
Hurt & Alone Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 IMO, I do not believe staying together for the kids sake is fair to either you or him. If you are not happy and he is not happy will your kids be happy knowing Mom and Dad have A's on one another for the sake of them? Life is too short not to be happy. It may be difficult on the children at first but when the both of you find people that do make you happy the kids will benefit.
Author myluck35 Posted September 1, 2007 Author Posted September 1, 2007 If I could leave I would. I'm a stay at home Mom. He basically controls the money. I agree with not staying together for the sake of the kids. Thank you.
