The children are two DS (8 and 6). Do we tell them sooner rather than later? At the moment we are still living together but in separate bedrooms and don't do anything as a family anymore. I'm in two minds on the timing. Tell them now and it could be months before there is any change in the living arrangements and the news might be all a bit abstract but give them time to get used to the idea, or tell them close to my husband moving out?
BTW he has ended our marriage by being in love with a mutual friend who he's not going to give up. I know this is not important to the question but important to me to make clear that this is not my choice!
I'll really appreciate any advice from those that have been there / done that as well as possible.
