[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a man I will tell you what he means.  He'd rather stay unhappy with you and his family than face the unknown alone.  However, if the unknown becomes known and turns out to be a better option, then he will seriously consider leaving.  Translation: if another woman comes into his life, he might leave but as of now, he doesn't have anyone else and isn't really looking.

Your DH probably values family and the commitment he made when getting married to you.  This is a good sign but don't take it for granted.  [/quote]

For me it's not the fear of the unknown, it's the commitment to my children. I don't want them to have a broken home, I don't want to see them part time, so I'm willing to suck it up. But the day after the youngest finishes high school, I am gone. [/quote]

My college roommates' parents did just that.  It fucked her and her brother up.  They said they felt like their entire childhood was a lie. They were both estranged from their parents for some time after. Their father immediately took up with a woman he knew during the marriage. Not pretty.  [/quote]

my dh's parents did this. sounds like it was worse than splitting when the kids were young. it's also difficult when you start navigating your own romantic relationships to have this hurled at you.  add to that the stresses that come with aging parents, and it's a big mess.[/quote]
