raliced, I am EXACTLY where you are, so I feel your pain. I hope, along with the pain, comes the clarity and conviction that comes with no longer being in limbo. It sounds like you have direction now for yourself. You are strong and will come through this just fine. Your H will have to deal with his relationship with the kids on his own terms. (I'm struggling with that right now.) I could have written much of what you wrote above. Who wants to stay married to someone that you can't respect? Who lies and cheats and only acts in their own self-interest, with no regard for the kids.

I'm done too. Rope officially dropped.

I can tell you that my brain is still trying to process everything, but since gaining the clarity of the situation with OW I have definitely moved on and feel clear for the first time in a long time, and it feels good. I hope the same is true for you. Let us know how you're doing.
