Thank you Cadet and Rick 1963 for your replies.

I have read DR and DB. I am now in LRT.

I think I may have reacted too soon. My husband is now telling me how happy he is with OW, happier than he has been in years with me. This cuts to the bone so I guess he has achieved the desired result.

I mourn the man I thought he was and I mourn the family I thought I would have. I realize I have not been the ideal wife. I am so aware of my contribution to the breakdown of our relationship. I wish my h could have stuck around long enough to address our problems. I feel he just checked out after our last fight when I was an exhausted, hormonal mother of four little children with no apparent support from my h.

My husband did say he was sorry and he was not happy with the angry person he was before he moved out. Now he denies he said thus.

I want my children to have a family home which includes everyone .

I need to know how to talk to my husband when I feel he is a stranger at the moment.

The man I married woul have never have put me or his children in the vulnerable position we are now in due to his relationship with a teacher at the children's school. That was a decision made by two people who should have known better. My husband is a liar if he says he thinks about his children first.

Deep breaths,
Lasa
