Hi all,
For those who may have seen my previous threads, I've been going through a tough time recently. After catching my wife having an affair I gave her an ultimatum: choose the job she has now, working alongside the boy she had an affair with or choose our marriage and the continuation of our life with our four chidren. (www.mumsnet.com/Talk/relationships/2874455-Am-I-being-unreasonable)
Last night I got my answer. She chose her job.
I thought I'd be handling it better now. I've suspected this was the route she would go down and thought I was preparing myself for it well. I was wrong - I can't stop sobbing. I even broke down in front of the childminder when I dropped off my youngest, who himself was crying because he wanted his mummy. Trouble is, so do I.
I never really understood what heartbreak feels like until now. I feel abandoned, rejected and betrayed, all while still being in love with the person doing the rejecting. I didn't check out of our marriage; she did.
I'm hoping I get better quickly. I got through this morning by pretending I have a cold, but that facade won't work in front of my kids for long. It's going to be a horrendous weekend.
Any advice?

She's made her choice. She didn't choose me.
