Any advice or stories of similar experiences would be greatly appreciated!
dh went through a textbook mid-life crisis. Has been very cold to me for a good year, cheated with an old girlfriend who came to visit from the States. I presented divorce papers and he was keen to move abroad with her first. Then the two lovebirds realised it is not that simple (she has kids too and her husband wouldn't let her take them to go and live in a new country). Now OW is reconciliating with her husband and mine is asking me to do the same and 'fix our relationship'. I have no trust and don't think we can fix it. Told him the best we could get is a coparenting relationship. I am tempted to still divorce and share our family home as we don't have family around that could help us with the children. Is that a bad idea? What are the pros and cons?
We both work full time and always had separate finances, just share the cost of bills and mortgage. He's always been helpful at home and we pay for a cleaner so wouldn't see that as much of an issue. Since the cheating we sleep in separate rooms and I don't wait for him for dinner. We only eat together with the kids at weekends.
(Already have a solicitor for the divorce case but still early days).
Many thanks
