[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My ex repeatedly cheated on me and gave me an std on more than one occasion. Final straw that literally had me go look for an apartment and sign the new lease the next day was when he stayed out all night the previous night, I checked his Facebook page and it had his new status as “ in a relationship with Larla.” Larla. Is. Not. My. Name. He publicly claimed someone else while we were still together. Who does that?! I left on the first train smoking. Men, including my ex, view children as the trap that will make you stay.

For those of you who feel the need to say that it takes courage to stay please keep telling yourself that in order to justify the bullshit that you are currently putting up with. You like your facade and that’s fine, but don’t you dare call it courage.

I felt like a super hero when I left. You couldn’t tell me I did not have a cape on. Changed my last name and everything.[/quote]

How old are your kids? Did u get alimony? What percent? My spouse got caught cheating twice and now he’s ready to really make commitment to me and the family. I’m less than impressed but kids are in college and my attorney says alimony in Maryland would be only 30 -40% his salary for 10 years. I’m 60 now. Really torn about what to do. Sorry about the hijack[/quote]

PP here, I will admit to being strategic with when I left. We have 4 kids, one was already out of the house and one had just graduated and was on her way to college. Of our remaining two, one was entering 9th grade and the other was entering the 8th grade. This happened during the summer so that also made the transition easier. This move would’ve been a lot more difficult if my kids were younger. My ex cut up for years with full knowledge of how difficult it would’ve been for me to leave with them. I’m guessing he stopped paying attention and didn’t realize how much easier they are to manage once they get older.[/quote]
