To end my marriage

Since the kids weee born 7 years ago my marriage has turned to shit. My H became so selfish and lazy, started working mega long hours and going out whenever he pleased. If I’m honest there is a woman he works with who always goes out with them and I’m convinced something is going on. He says he doesn’t want to be at home because I don’t show him any affection, how can I? I just know when we split he will end up with this other woman and worried things might turn nasty.

I'd rather be single than be with a waste of space like he sounds. Any OW would be welcome to him.

He has told me he will have the kids 50:50 which would be amazing as they would see him more!

Try to get evidence then get ducks in a row and get rid

What if he does end up with this woman and it hurts?

Sounds shit all round. No fun for you, no fun for him... I'd start counselling or I'd call it a day.

Regarding the other woman; if you want to make it work then get a babysitter and join the group to get the measure of her. Although sounds like you're pretty much past that.

They spend weekend long festivals together and I just find it so frustrating as why would he want to be there with her and not his family.
