Splitting up with husband - two children.

Hi everyone. I’ve been married since June and have two children with my husband, aged 2 and 12 weeks. We’ve been together for 7 years. Without going into detail I found out less than 2 days after getting married that he’s been unfaithful over the past few years amongst other things.

I know in my heart of hearts he isn’t the man I want to spend the rest of my life with, and can’t forgive him for what he’s done. But leaving absolutely terrifies me. We have a house together, but he earns £100,000 a year more than me (I’m on £18,500). I know in a lot of ways I am shooting my self in the foot by leaving but I feel like I’m damned if I stay or damned if I go. I know I don’t deserve a love where someone is unfaithful but the money makes it hard - and j really am not the gold digger type.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation and have any advice? I am absolutely terrified of the future and just feel physically sick of the thought of breaking up the family :(

Is he employed or self employed? Check cms calculator and see a solicitor about the house.

YANBU to hesitate, but YANBU to leave the shit and let him be single since he wants to behave like a single man.

It's terrifying when you have a young child and face the reality of being alone. Terrifying to think that you're going to have to change their home life and setup. But it's more terrifying to think that if you don't leave, you'll never get to live the life you need and deserve.
