SailingAlone is so right on this. No pressure, no relationship talks, no ultimatums. Focus on yourself first, and your kids. They need you to be the "sane" one - not that MLC means they're insane, it just seems that way sometimes.
None of us thought our spouses would cause us this pain. If anyone had told me a year ago that my marriage would be on the brink of divorce I'd have laughed them off, but I'm here now because it is and I don't want it to be.
One of the best pieces of advice so far I've picked up from this forum is to read Divorce Busting and Divorce Remedy. I learned a lot from DB; have only just started DR but I'm picking up tips already. I would just suggest that you keep them out of your H's sight.
What are you doing to GAL? Even if its just doing something with your kids. While they're away is the perfect time to do something, even if you don't feel like it.
You actually posted the following on my thread "'Time and space' seems to be the answer for now.. but it is so hard" so you do know what you need to do. And you know you handled the situation wrong. Don't beat yourself up about it; pick yourself up, dust yourself off and learn from the mistake.
Stay strong.
