I could be his wife. My husband is in love with someone 700 miles away. We have been married for 19 years, most of them good – but there have been stresses on our marriage from a number of directions. While we have talked through about a number of issues that have been at the root of why our marriage was weaker than I realized, it is close to impossible to work on our marriage now when he thinks he has this other person 700 miles away. Our lives will never be the same. Our children’s lives will never be the same…I would urge you if you have any decency, to think about those other people in his life and tell him to sort out his own life before carrying on with you.
I would also recommend you try to be a good parent to those two boys – much like the woman who my husband has been involved with…I am heartbroken, but I am also trying to figure out what will happen next, and no matter what happens, I will put my kids first and make sure I am doing everything I can to take care of them. If my life with my husband is truly over, I won’t bring anyone else into it without being absolutely sure that it is the best thing for my children and myself.
