Moving On

looking for some encouragement really. Long story short found out my husband had an affair just after Christmas last year. Work colleague was over (apparently) hadn’t been happy for years etc ! usual script.
i was completely blindsided and it’s taken me nearly a year to come to the decision that I have to move on and get next steps done.
kids are 22 20 and 16 and all at home with me. He has moved into a flat that I had rented out over the years (small studio that I had before we met).
he is the higher earner and although we are outwardly amicable I am so angry and betrayed that someone who I have been with for 27 years can do this . I am also worried if he can do this then he is going to fuck me over financially and I can’t let this happen.
please any tips .
the kids are a whole different thread .
thank you wise people, I have no one who has had to deal with this and although I have loads of friends and family support they don’t get it .

No advice really other than to lawyer up , most do a free 30 minute consultation so reach out to a few different ones . You’re correct that he will no doubt try and get as much as he can , he is no longer your friend and can’t be trusted in any way shape or form .
