[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got married really young, too young.  I believed the fairy tale.  I knew my husband would be a good provider and parent. I'm not sure if I truly was in love with him or liked the idea of being taken care of by someone who really loved me. Fast forward two decades later, my husband and I are not the same people.  We have had major life challenges (including the loss of a child) that have changed us.

I am a honest and up front person.  I did reach a point two years ago I asked my husband for a divorce so I find someone who enjoys me and I enjoy him.  I realized life was far too short to not get want one truly desires, but I did not have any particular man in mind at the time that I was leaving my husband for.  I just knew I was a good person and could do better than the situation I was in.

My husband at first was mad.  Then took several days to think things over.  When we sat down to talk about the situation like adults, he surprised me.  He cried and begged me not to leave.  I saw that he still loved me but I could not reciprocate the feeling.  The one thing that we did agree on was that we did not want to raise our kids in separate households.  My husband said as long as I did not rub it in his face or let people we know find out, I could have affairs if I needed to.

So that's our arrangement.  I stayed for the sake of the kids (he is an A+ dad).  After they go to college we may reconsider our situation. [/quote]

There is a difference between what you are doing and what the people on this thread are wanting/are doing. Your husband knows about your affairs (btw, really, you should just divorce at this point if you can't reciprocate your feelings because it is really not fair to him and you both will be better off), and these posters are going behind their partners' backs.[/quote]

I guess I am willing to put my kids needs ahead of my own.  They are happy and they benefit from having both of us around to raise them on an everyday basis.[/quote]
