Mrs. H,

I am too early in this - h just left and said he will file.

However, this is my second run through MLC...

Twenty two years ago, my father left my mother. There was a OW. I still have the letter he wrote to me (all the kids got the same letter) saying he loved this OW and was going to divorce my mother and marry her.

You won't want to read this next part, but his MLC lasted over 5 years. Five years. Sigh.

My parents never divorced and are still married and living together now. He told my mother that if he would have divorced her, it would have been the biggest mistake of his life.

He has been absolutely distraught at what I am going through, yet has never mentioned his situation to me. My mother has, but not my dad.

I found these boards early in my situation because I have been through this before. I dreaded telling my children because I have been on the receiving end of the conversation and it forever changed my relationship with my dad (and not in a positive way). I question waiting (w8ing) for my H because I know how long it took my dad and I am not a saint like my mother.

So for me - there is one success story and one.......I'll let you know.....
