[quote=Anonymous]It happened to me too, only he tried to hide the affair. He'd already had one affair when the kids were young and he swore he was reformed and would never do it again. Supposedly he didn't take things physical until he left. Then he waited a year to introduce the AP to people and he still pretends they're just friends in certain contexts (20 months  since he left).

He said I didn't do anything wrong. I mean, obviously, but at least he wasn't blame-shifting this time around, I guess. And he immediately offered me lifetime alimony and what he thought was more than half of the assets (but he is generous in his appraisals). I even get to keep the alimony if I cohabitate in the future.

She's only five years younger and has three kids of her own, younger than ours. Have fun buddy.

Even with all of the ways I've landed on my feet, it's still a horrible shock and identity crisis. I wanted my family intact. I'm a SAHM with health issues. I wanted a supportive partner and marriage. So I made a lot of compromises.

Hindsight is 20/20 and I'm grateful to be where I am. But no one wants to be pushed off a cliff with no warning.

The ex still texts me when he's sad or gets an injury. He has not noticed that I've been gray rocking him for a year and a half. That's the kind of man he is and . . . now he's someone else's problem.[/quote]
