Hi Morgan,

I finally went back to post #1 out of 1496 to see what got you here. Man, I'm sorry. I'm at the 1 year plus separation point, and am currenlty in Iraq, at my own hand, to trya nad escape what may be inevitable. I'm really sorry for you, and frustarted beyond belief by a guy who can walk out on his family.I saw the ages of your kids and it breaks my heart. When I think of my S9, and the fact that he may not grow up in an intact family, it kills me. Just like you, my M. went south over a number of years ago. I never saw it coming. I describe it as paint that yellows. You notice subtle changes, but nothing you can put your finger on. My thread goes way back, too much to explain, but you have to think of your kids first. It's so anger-provoking. My W. couldn't care any less about "holes" created in pictures or a family, and if that saddens your husband, then he needs to get his as* home, and jettison the other woman. I've had it with people who leave their spouses and then get "sad" wwhen they look at thier kids. Get yourself happy, don't depend on a spouse to do it...same for him....sorry for the rant. Take care!
