Confusion_Reigns Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I'm not surprised. I got a random fb messages from the OWs boyfriend. I told H about this, asked him if he was...he denied, naturally. I don't beleive him & told him to leave, again...& he said he would leave...again...& hasn't left...again. I could force the issue but I am still concerned about our kids, sons graduating from high school & daughters stressed about college & other stuff...I told him we can wait for him to move out until after May when kids schooling is less intense on them. He doesn't like that idea & threatened to leave now...go ahead them, but he won't leave. Well, didn't leave. Now H is talking suicide...well, eluding to suicide...wtf... Quite honestly I've know he's been cheating for a long time now & I really don't care any more. I don't want him here. It's just a tough situation at this moment & I'm just riding the 'coster 1 Link to post Share on other sites

SleekArchitecture Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I think the most important thing is the children. They have both parents cheating on one another and clearly are upsetting the household. There well being comes first. Can they stay at a relatives until this is worked out? 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Ronnie33 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I don't understand why you both won't leave if you are both miserable and cheating? If neither want to stay and fix what the hell is the point? 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Author Confusion_Reigns Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 I'm not looking for sympathy or approval...or even understanding. Yes the kids wellbeing is the most important & that's why I'm not making my H leave yet...or why I'm not walking out the door yet...they have enought to deal with right now & I'm not going to add to that. Fyi- I told my H to leave & he refuses. Link to post Share on other sites

First you don't want to make him leave, but you asked him to and he refuses. 8 Link to post Share on other sites

Darren Steez Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Technically it's not cheating. You're both even. Why should he leave because he's cheating? A bit confusing. Everyone is getting their piece except..the kids. What a mess. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Clay Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Why are you even upset? If you don't love your H and you already have another man in your life why even post your upset? What a great example you both set for your children. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
aliveagain Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I wonder who the kids will take after? Is this what the new American family looks like? I think you both need to be tested for STD's than you both need to see a lawyer, there is nothing to save here. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
DKT3 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Your cheating, so why do you want him out because you found out he is too? Sounds like it could all work out. You have a boyfriend, he has a girlfriend you come together for the kids. Unless of course you do care that he is cheating. PS, you can no more throw him out then he can you..so if he doesn't want to leave then your only option is to leave yourself. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Poppy47 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 News Flash... technically they are not teeny tots anymore. YOung people has survived parental break ups before and some have even been grateful that the tension in the home has gone. Get your own life together, then you can look after your offspring in they need you. They will soon be pursuing their own careers and have partners anyway.

Author Confusion_Reigns Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 It's a long story, Lots of it is here if u care to look...for more understanding. No I'm not really hurt I'm calloused. I'm not going to blame him for my actions. I'm looking at the end. Much needed. It not the lack of love that's the problem. its a whole lot of past that's never going away that's the problem....& his confusion of love with need. He, my H, scares me. So I'm leaving. But it takes time. What am I hoping for? That my H finds a new obsession to focus on Link to post Share on other sites
georgia girl Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 At the once teen-aged child of a cheating father, can I please share some perspective with you? You and your husband need to either both end your affairs and recommit to your marriage or you need to end your marriage. Staying put is harmful to your kids. Here's the deal. People don't think their kids are at all affected by the parents' behaviors. That cracks me up. Even before I found out at 13 - yes, 13! - that my father was sleeping with his secretary, I could tell something wasn't right in my house. The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife, they went days without really talking to each other and if they did have arguments, it was filled with whispered jabs that sometimes you could make out and sometimes you couldn't. It was horrible. I hated the uncertainty. I remember being about 9 or 10 years old, on a school night and begging my parents at sometime after midnight to talk to each other about how they felt. I always felt like my parents were somehow on the edge of divorce and all of the emotion around that "waiting for the other shoe to drop" was horrific. By the time I found out that my dad had a girlfriend (by the way, the creepiest thing to ever find out about your father - particularly at that age), I used to pray that they'd get a divorce. Please don't put your children through this kind of a roller coaster. If you're both having romantic relationships with others, then your marriage is over. Separate, let your kids see that you love them and provide the support they need to make this work. It may mean both of you need to put your other relationships on hold for awhile, but I can't think of a more important investment than your kids. Good luck. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
William Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Please don't move this to infidelity, I'm a MW & have a wonderful OM. I'm not willing to enforce the ending until after my kids are done with this school term. If the focus is on the spouse's affair, then the thread is located in Infidelity, per policy, especially if the thread starter is also having an affair. See the published policy guidelines at the top of the respective forums for more information. Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Steez Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Confusion doesn't really reign. Some subconsciously like the drama and excitement in their lives. Makes them feel wanted/needed. This all seems a total mess if this is indeed true. Divorce and separation from OM & husband seems so much simpler not to mention healthier..especially with kids involved because this can never end without repercussions to them the longer it goes on. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
