robx has it right on his advice to you.

If you toss him aside you will gain his respect. Respect is built when a person takes a stand for themselves regardless of what's going on. When you stand up and claim your right to be happy, claim your right to be with someone who will love and respect you, claim your right not to be a doormat or treated with such disrespect, then you gain people's respect.

But the most important outcome of doing this is - YOU GAIN BACK RESPECT FOR YOURSELF. And that trumps everything else.

Piano -

"It's obvious you are a person who would walk away from his responsibilities. You father children with me and then just walk away based on how you feel rather than doing what's right based on the responsibilities you have created.

You are not the kind of man I want to be with and you are not the kind of person I want in my life. You have a right to do whatever you want to do, but I have a right to chose what is healthy for me. I have no respect for a person who can do what you're doing and acting so selfishly.

I deserve better than that and so do my children. I do not want them modeling such irresponsible behavior."


My WH takes his plane tomorrow for his country of origin where he will be shaking up with OW, leaving me and 3 month old behind.

He left me a note today asking me to forgive him for what he did to me and us.

Do I reply?
