Really need this new job to leave my shit marriage

Hi, thanks for reading. I am keeping this completely to myself so just want to share with someone.
I thought I had the perfect marriage. 20 years married, 19 year old twins, we always got on brilliantly.
I found out that DH had been looking up escorts and hook up sites. To say I was blindsided was an understatement. Of course he was only just looking and had never done anything.
Against my better judgement I ‘forgave’ him as I was such a wreck. Mainly because the kids were doing their GCSEs and I barely earn any money.
Fast forward to now, my boys are happy at uni and I have just found all this shit in his search history again. I’m done.
He wants us to move so the house will be going on the market in the new year, and I have a job interview next month for a position that will pay me enough to go it alone. I’m quietly getting my ducks in a row, hoping we get a quick offer on the house and praying I get the job.
I just needed to tell someone! Thank you :)

I’m so sorry, OP. Here is hoping the next one pans out.

Use this time OP to set up everything you need. Become independent in the security of the relationship without him realising. So when its time to separate he cant rock your world x

This still stands despite the interview outcome - sorry to hear about that. Theres better things out there coming your way. Life goes where energy flows. Come OP chin up, you can do this bit by bit x

I'm waiting for a similar situation, DH to get a new job, some investments to pay and I'm out, same age kids.

So proud and excited for you, hope the job comes off.

Good luck! I don't want to go into it, but I'm in a similar position, but 32 years in... Fingers crossed for you, we can do this 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻❤❤❤

@WantaNewLife24 keep coming back to this thread for support while you're pushing towards your goal. How has your home life been and have you had a chance to look for any other jobs?

Did you get any feedback OP? Always worth getting that to assess your situation for the next interview
