My husband of 13 years, (together 16 years) told me 4 weeks ago he has feelings for someone else. We have two kids, 3 and 5 1/2 years old. I am a stay at home mom. He says he has been "miserable" for years but thought we could work it out. The problem with that is he didn't tell me he was miserable. He just got more and more withdrawn. I've basically been a single mom pretty much since my kids were born.

I'm having a hard time with everything. My whole world is upside down. Thank god for my kids. They are keeping me grounded through all this.

This is a long story and I wont go into it all now.

I found out today that my husband is making airline reservations to go see this other woman. I knew he was planning a trip. He told me that last week. But hearing about the actual arrangements hurts.

Man this sucks.....

I'm glad to find a board to maybe get a chat going with others going through similar situations.

Hi Lisa...I am so sorry! Is your husband still living in the house while making these extra-curricular activity plans or are you presently separated? Keep your head held high, and lean on others for support. My ex of 7 years also had an affair which concluded our marriage. My 2 sets of twin boys were then 2 and 5. We are all so much happier and better off today. You and your children will be in my prayers...Marilyn

No, he's not living here. He wanted to stay but I couldnt have him here. He's been out of the house almost a month. We aren't legally seperated. I have an appt with a lawyer on monday. I just want to know what my rights are and what to expect. I think we will eventually be happier. I'm still in the grieving phase right now though. I just feel like I'm going to be alone forever. Who is going to want a 30 something woman with two special needs (but great) kids?

I am sorry you are going through this.. please keep your strength and don't get yourself too low and down especially with the kids. No one deserves that heart ache-- I am so sorry you have to deal with this. In time the hurt won't be as sharp.
