Bravo, twinmom. That is self respect. Doesn't that feel GREAT!
Much as I hope it does feel great, something tells me Twin, that YOU do not feel great. I think you are terrified of being divorced with 5 kids, and I DO understand that. (I swear I do).
But imo, there is a much worse scenario...staying with this man as he is now. Or anywhere near what he's like now. He's a terrible example for your sons and daughters to see as a man/mate. Don't let this cycle repeat. What evidence is there that he's willing OR able to change? iS there any?
Twin, him SAYING he wants to "slow down the divorce", is hardly a serious commitment to deep personal reflection, coupled with courageously facing of one's character flaws...and then making the needed changes.
I cannot imagine even trying to reconcile with him in the next year.
And if his pattern continues (why wouldn't it?) that is far too long for him to not have a woman on his arm. Any woman...really.
So back to the first question, what evidence is there that he's willing or able to really change?
