I am a "slut" and "hooked-up" with a guy with whom I have now been with for nearly 8 months. He is the best thing that ever happened to me so...
Every one responds differently. The questions your sons are asking seem to want to place "blame" on someone outside the family. In sort of a...
So there is light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for the update and I am very glad to hear it.
All I can say is that I feel deeply for you. The same step is coming for me but I am still seeking the right time and right way to go about it....
I am in the same boat. I have now made the decision to tell her but, now am waiting for the right time (if such a time exists). Mine asked all...
I love this. Its a perspective I have never considered. I know exactly what I would tell my sons. I have even contemplated that question about...
Thanks piano71. Exactly on point. Less baggage now than later.
All I can say is I wish I were in your position because it only gets worse and more complicated. Be glad it's only been 3 years and no kids. I...
One thing I know for sure is that if I do decide to leave, I will not immediately be moving in with anyone else. I have myself to figure out...
I have been doing the best I can to separate him from the decision. That certainly isn't easy to do but, I try to make that part of the process....
USUK, one more reason its so dang hard to do. On one hand I know I can afford it but, on the other hand the cost is tremendous, is it worth it?...
Thanks Highlander2. Your story is one of the ones I have read and probably the one I most identified with so thanks for weighing in. I...
USUK, probably. Maybe my motives are not so selfless after all. I also am not sure I have the determination and strength to do it right now....
Again thanks for sharing with me. I continue to go back and forth -- not with whether to come out, I think that has to happen at some point but,...
I wanted to fit in, to be successful, to have a family. My adolescence started with ridicule, isolation, and rejection. I knew what and why very...
I am not sure what happens now. I don't know if I want a divorce but, I know I don't want to live telling lies and hiding who I am. I am not...
Basil, I like you am in the Deep South in a city. Although I was raised in the Baptist church we are not regular church members. With that said...
So I can give a little more pretext. I have two sons 10 and 12. They are fantastically bright and fairly well adjusted kids. Of course, as...
So all of you who have or are married with kids-- what was the tipping point. How did you know the time was right? How did you do it? I have...
Thanks all. I get it. I started this thread with "I want, and in fact need" to tell her. That is of course for me. I have spent entirely to0...
