Anyone moved away for a fresh start?

My OH left us 6 weeks ago after an argument about how much he was spending with a female friend. During the last few weeks, after the initial upset and arguments, things had started to settle down. I have tried to talk to him on numerous occasions but he keeps telling me that he will only talk about this situation when I am calm and rationale. The thing I am struggling with at the moment is that the friend lives just up the road from us and I was having a good weekend on my own with DD and DS until last night when I dropped DD at her friend's house and saw his van parked outside her house. At the moment I am struggling to understand how I can ever move forward when seeing this every weekend hurts and upsets me so much. I am thinking that the only way is maybe to make a clean break and move somewhere else - has anyone ever done this? Am I just rushing into something that I will later regret?

But is this a female friend or OW.
In either case l think your relationship is over, he is making you out to be in the wrong-choosing friend over you.
It is early days in the break up so don't make rash decisions. Is there any way that you can avoid passing this friends house?
There is no harm in looking at options of moving away but much much too soon to make such a huge decision.

They both say they are only friends and I think that is true but it doesn't change the fact that he is constantly putting his own feelings ahead of me and the DC. I don't think I can forgive him for this....it is just so hard as we have been together for 23yrs and still have to communicate with each other due to work etc. I think I am doing OK but seeing him around there all the times just keeps knocking me back - will it get easier?
