I remember being in that holding pattern. I also planned to stick it out, because I had a feeling H would go no where unless pushed. However, when EA turned to PA and the lies got bigger and bolder, I drew the line. (and yes, H swore for months EA would never be PA.) We lived in an area that was like a small town and people were talking and my children were listening. I sometimes wonder what would have happened if I hadn't asked H to leave, but I do feel that I would worse of emotionally. I'm not saying you are, but sometimes pushing them out of the nest and letting them see if they can do it on their own is a big wake up call. It is hard on the children. They have always been why I have put up with more than I thought I would. However, the times I drew the line (asking H to leave and then again when I fully detached) it was when I worried what kind of role model I was being to my children. On one hand I had always wanted to be the role model that showed them that you stuck it out in marriage, but now I want them to know that while I still value marriage, I also value my self respect and I do not have someone in my life who lies and cheats on a regular basis. My dd is 11 and just starting to notice boys, I to limit her exposure to H's mlc behavior...which is more obvious around me.
It is a tough call what to do next. Live for yourself and your children but maybe there is a way to let go of your wife more?
