Just a vague notion. Things not been great with DH for a while but nothing too bad. Just silly arguments and lack of intimacy. Maybe we've just got lazy and arent doing fun things anymore. andRecently met someone who I'm very attracted to but hardly know. Don't want to break up my family but then don't want to spend the next 30 years wondering what if?
What would you do? Have one dc. Other man has 2 kids but separated.

All I can say OP is if you go down that road and get found out now or in the future, your partner may well never feel 100% the same about you even if you are mortally sorry, so only you can decide if it’s worth that risk for something that may be a 10 minute wonder

Yes- I was married with two children and had an affair and left my husband. This was 24 years ago; we had one more child together and I've never been happier.
People's responses will depend on their own personal experiences...

Yes and although I don't regret ending the marriage itself with my ex-DH, as it was years in decline, I regret the overlap. I'd met the other guy in a language class and we became friends. All the classic stuff. Once he declared feelings for me I ended my marriage. Nothing physical happened until after I ended the marriage, but it was definitely an emotional affair up until that point. My ex-DH met a new person, who he married a few years ago, and they are much better suited to each other. We are all on good terms and I attended their wedding.

My relationship with the man I left him for didn't end well at all. He ended up leaving me for someone else years later. Karma and all that I suppose. I would never overlap relationships again. The grass is certainly never greener because after time it definitely lulls into the same bullshit. I felt very guilty and still do at times, but happy for my ex-DH as it worked out for him. I'm currently single and don't plan on having another relationship for the foreseeable.
