Introductions

We fell OUT OF LOVE but we still love each other as friends/humans.... plus we are both in old enough to know our son is the most important thing.
He's been gone and or apparently straying outside our marraige the majority of our marraige, so the good news is, we are not used to him being around. SOoooooooooooo it is going to be ok for us.
We're picking out paint and painting the guest room and buying furniture in the next week. Then I will move in!
Luckily I have a degree, so I can ease back into working life and get counseling and take my time leaving... and setting up a home elsewhere.

I wish it would work out, but there is the whole cheating thing... lol

Your son is so lucky There will be a day he'll know that and even tell you.

Thank you Audrey.
It is hard... and sort of surreal... but I intend to do what is best for my son no matter what.
And I may need to be reminded of this from time to time.
Take care,

Emily,

you sound like you have such a sound head on your shoulders and that you and your soon to be ex are really separating like adults. I commend you both for this and your son will for sure benefit.

Our situation was so the opposite that I'm more than impressed. In fact my daughter's father hasn't spoken to her in 5 or more years. She wouldn't recognize him if he walked up and did speak now.    And he offered no assistance when it was over either...I'm still working on the debt and horrible credit issues he left me in.

In the long run, I did decided that we are better off without him if he can do this to both of us.

I don't want to be mean, but I wouldn't say he has a great head on his shoulders or he wouldn't be letting his third marraige fail. HOWEVER, I do give him credit for going along with my plan... neither of us wants to hurt our child.
Anyway.... thank you! lol
I'm sorry. Apparently I'm wearing a BITTER hat today! 

[ArmySister]

I totally understand your bitterness and most certainly dont condone his cheating....That's one of the few things in a relationship that I truly find unforgiveable; however, I do commend BOTH you and him for sucking up your differences (at least temporarily) and doing what's best for your baby. So few parents (my ex and me included) do that.

thank you so much!
I appreciate your encouraging words.
