Re: At the crossroads....again

That is good to know.. .I can't imagine being a wife on the end of a 20 year marriage, knowing that my husband wanted someone else. Would make me pretty angry, too...
There are lots of people who stay together for the kids. You've got a younger child so I imagine it is very hard for you to deal with that. Personally, I wouldn't stay together just for the kids. They know what's going on (unless you two have been VERY good at hiding it, which is next to impossible). I would rather have two parents that are happy and can (here's the kicker) CO-PARENT than to have them together and miserable. Misery loves company. Another thing to remember is that you will not see your children every day like you are used to. Can you handle that? Just food for thought. A 50/50 parenting plan is ALWAYS the best when you have two equally capable parents. Don't ask for anything less than 50/50.
Good luck... stick around and you'll get some good advice.
