If I'd had the money to leave him when I found out about it 2 yrs ago, I would have. I'm a stay at home mom with an unreliable income I have from a part time internet business. My parents are deceased and I have no family in the area to move in with.
He was actually pretty kind and loving right up until I exposed it last year. It drew them closer together and pushed us further apart. I have plenty of intel - cell phone records, emails, gift receipts, pictures. I don't want to divorce him, but I can't take this emotional abuse much longer.
The state we live in requires us to be separated (not sharing a bedroom) for 6 months before filing for divorce. He initiated the inhouse separation and started all the late night stuff right after that. I'm Dbing, and am seeing conflicting signs as to whether it's working or not. I have an appt with one of the DB coaches tomorrow and will formulate a plan from there.
I've got 29 years and 3 kids invested in this man, and I'm not in a hurry to end it - just shake him up a bit and snap him back to reality. I know the guy I married is still in there somewhere. He comes out when she's not around...
