[quote=Anonymous]I found out last week DH has been cheating on me for 3-4 years. I don't want to post a ton of details here but the facts are basically awful (the length of the affair, the amount of lies told to my face, etc). Based on the facts of the affair, basically any sane person would look at this situation and scream LEAVE.

But, we have two very young children, and I am extremely reluctant to be a single parent, for their sake and for mine.

Also, this sounds crazy, but even through these 3-4 years DH and I agree that we have been very happy, in love, etc. He was just also doing this on the side of our otherwise happy marriage.

(There are so many more details than this...it's hard to type everything out.)

He is extremely remorseful, agreeing to therapy (indiv and together), says he will do anything for me not to leave, etc.

Therapist says this is more common than we think, but of course no one talks about it so I can't go to any friends who I know have been through this. Did your marriage survive a long-term serious affair, perhaps also when you had small children? Am I living in some kind of delusional world to think we can/should work this out?[/quote]
