[quote=Anonymous][quote]I must know so I can plan the next stage in my life, right? Protect my assets, etc. I can't live like Carmela Soprano for years/decades while dad has a series of monogamous affairs with Other Women he actually loves, sometimes. 
I may be making a distinction without an actual difference, tho, between the 1-weekend stand every 8 years of marriage and the ongoing love affair that lasts a year or more.

Can you explain why you have not left him?[/quote]

At first, I had no plans to leave because I am one of the retro-thinking spouses who believes steadfastly that all divorce is an awful blow to school-age children.  Even the "good divorce" or the amicable divorce or what have you.   I was going to suck it up.

Now that stupid husband won't quit the whore-turned-girlfriend and (I suspect) is spending time at her apt. at the expense of our children after work, I ready to conclude that there is little advantage to staying together.  Except one:  money.   I'm trying to work out the money piece on my end.

I don't necessarily recommend this for others reading this thread.  I'm just doing what makes the most sense at the moment in a dynamic situation where, importantly, I'm missing a lot of key data needed to make the -best- decision.[/quote]
