: First, I would like to thank those of you who gave me wonderful advice. : Second, I got the guts and did it. I talked to my parents and were shocked and upset because I had hid it for so long. My father also had a talk with him and let him know how disappointed he was in my husband. He moved out of the house even though he begged me not to leave him as usual but he did leave. I was going to wait a little longer before I ended this but one day I felt so hurt because my daughter lost a couple pieces that go to a $2.00 puzzle that I had purchased for her and she was very upset. I told her not to worry and that I would buy her another puzzle that has all the pieces which meant spending money, so he became furious, said I was crazy, and called me many horrible names. I never use any foul language, especially in front of my kids. I also come from a good family where my parents have a great marriage and respect eachother. I knew I just had to end this. : I have been feeling terrible about this though. My kids always ask for him and it does hurt me whenever I go out with my kids and see many couples out there with their kids. I also worry becaue I don't think I wlll be able to make the house payment by myself and will probably end up living with my parents due to this. I feel like a failure sometimes. I hope I really made the right choice for my kids sake.

XXX I have a simillar story as yours. I am 24, been married for almost 3 years and have a 16 month old. The soon to be ex never paid attention to either of us, he went to work and came home to play on his online computer game he was so addicted to. I prob saw him 15 min out of every day. I went thru my pregnancy alone and even left to build her dresser and crib alone at 8 months pregnant, while he played his game. After months of crying myself to sleep i guess i built up a wall so i wouldn't get hurt anymore. We grew apart, he had been violent in the past, he started drinking again. I knew I didn't want my daughter growing up around that, So I left. Needless to say 3 days after I moved out i went back to the apt to get the rest of my things I found another woman I my bed whom he trained at work. She was also married...He was at work when I found her. (poor girl) I too moved back with my parents. I am very thankful that I have them for help until I get back on my feet. I was a stay at home mom so I now have been looking for a job for the past 3 months...Still no luck.. You are not a failure if you are taking care of your children, and doing what is best for them. Good luck !
