MrBond - I moved over to MLC thread. Of course I feel deceived because after never mistrusting my husband for a day I have just found out he has cheated. I mean I discovered OW less than 3 months ago and it was after he left our home.
I am mentioning GAL not to date but because it is Michelle's advice. As for the separation...I have been a SAHM for 20 years and so I must have some financial protection. There is the emotional aspect to our marriage and the business aspect of a long term marriage.
For the business of life I require health insurance and child support and alimony to pay for the house he left behind.
As for the emotional side to life - I am Catholic and believe that marriage is a sacrament. Divorce is not an option for me and considering my H was attending Mass up until 5 days before he left I assumed we would try everything before divorce. We also chose to raise our children in the faith so pardon me if my heart and my spirit are catching up to having to deal with unpleasant realities.
Dating is not GALing correct?
