    Yes you shouldnt have slept with someone else, to use it as a way to hurt your partner to get him to move out. I dont know what else to suggest but thats not the right way to go.
  • It sounds like you are really unhappy and have just reached desperation point. I wouldnt listen to people giving you a hard time on here. We are all human and do stupid and hurtful things at times when we dont know what else to do. Would your husband go to mediation sessions with you? Maybe a third party would help you talk things through, explain to him that the relationship is over and plan what to do in a way that keeps the hurt for you, your husband and your children to a minimum. Hope everythings works out ok for you.XXX

    There are alot of people preaching a bit here..Statistics show that over 50% of men and 40% of women will be unfaithful at one time or another for whatever reason. Most just dont get found out!!!!
  • Hiya Bonnie,

    Another one saying ignore those here giving it the ' oh... never me, never me...' or the likes, being so negative.

    You are obviously not happy.

    Strong enough to make your own decisions too, I'm sure.
    Life is too short to not endeavour to enjoy each little minute.

    Best wishes.

    Hmm, strange messages of support you're getting here. I wonder if they would be as supportive of a man who had slept with someone behind his blameless wife's back and was now trying to force her out of her own home?

    Certainly if you're not happy then I feel for you, but I also feel for your husband who seems to have done nothing wrong. If you want to split from him, don't you owe it to him, as someone who has done his bit, treated you and the kids well, and not slept around, to talk to him frankly about why you're unhappy? And remember this is a family you're breaking up here, it's not just about you and your happiness.
  • Uganda, you ever endured life as you'd wish it not?

    A family not happy is not worth retaining.
    :D

    Done nothing wrong.... lol

  • Bonnie, hope you get out.

    You only get one life, a life with a drab non-responsive male can always be left behind.

    So what exactly has the husband done wrong?

    Your selfish, self centred attitude is the reason that there are so manychildren from broken families in the world today. Sometimes it really shouldn't be all about you.
  • have to agree.

    As far as the story goes so far this guy has done nothing but try to support his family in whatever way is available to him at the time. It would seem to me he is a better, more stable and reliable person than the OP has managed to convey about themselves. If you geniunely don't want to be with him then i'd suggest you look for alternative accommodation and not presume its the guy who should move on.

    maybe there are details not yet revealed by the OP but right now i'm on his side!
    The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits
