My husband of 22 years is going through a mid life crisis. He is 48 years old and is on his second affair. 5 years ago he had a trist with a 23 year old at work and begged me to forgive him. I did and we did a little counseling. I went back to work after being a stay at home mom for 10 years and enrolled in college. He then started another affair with a married woman and it went on for the bast 3 years on and off. He is now saying that he wants a divorce because he is not happy and is not admitting to the affair at all. Although my kids were the ones to fill me in on his affiar. My 15 year old daughter while driving with my husband a couple of weeks ago had his phone in her hands when the other woman sent a text saying how much she loved him. He has love song cds that were obviously burned by her in is car that he lies about saying he found the cds at work. She is married to a very successful man and they have children. We just scrape by. I called her husband and he is aware of the affair also but is not interested in consulting each other. I asked him to leave and he is staying with his sister and coming over to help with the kids in the mornings . He started counseling about a month ago because he said he was feeling so unhappy and was considering hanging himself in the garage. He recently lost his mother to cancer and has not yet really mourned the loss. His mother shared on her death bed that she was unhappy in her marriage and only stayed in the marriage for the kids. We have always had problems communicating. He only shares his feelings with his sister and other women - never me. When we went to couples therapy after the first affair 2 out of 3 therapists said that he had a "love addiction" where he needs the support and attention of other women and asked that he go to special therapy but he refused. I do not want my marriage to end. I want him /us to get help and work it out. Am I being stupid - should I just walk away?
