Hi there - previous thread started with DH AWOL , arrested for drink driving . Final straw for me in out marriage , planning to leave in secret on Thursday. 6 days to go . Feeling shit about everything - pain the kids will have to go through , pain and upset his family and him . Wishing he was a reasonable person enough that we could separate amicably. Wishing I could predict which way this is going to go- hating the double life I am currently leading .Sad started this thread just for the hand holding whilst the proverbial hits the fan over the next 7 days !

We’re behind you OP, you are going to be free and have a better life and so are your kids. It will be hard to start with but you can do it. We are here for a handhold

Well done OP You are doing the right thing. It will be hard but it would be harder to stay. Years after i left my marriage one of my children asked me why i stayed so long, he said that by staying i was showing him that it was ok for a man to cheat and that by staying it impacted on his childhood. The children need you to protect them so do your job and fill your new home with love, contentment and laughter. Good luck and best wishes x
