[quote=Anonymous]I "stayed".  I was 6 months pregnant with child #2 and in my 3rd year of law school when I found out.  Strategically, it was better for me to ensure I could finish law school -- which wasn't a financial issue  (since I was paying my tuition out of my own pre-relationship savings) and rather a logistic issue (did I really want to split my cognitive energy between law school and breaking up, moving out, and managing a new home with a toddler and a newborn infant).

From the outside it probably looked like I wanted to be in the relationship, but I definitely did not.  It was a careful balance to choose between a bunch of shitty choices and do what was right for me and the kids while humoring STBXDH enough that he wouldn't get aggressive with me.

He was quite shocked when I told him, at a time that was good for me, that our relationship was over.  I was able to make him move out in 2 days (because I had spent some of my time gathering extensive evidence of what was going on far beyond the gaslighting BS he fed me.)  I've never regretted the way I handled "staying," and people who read our situation as me being weak or want a crappy relationship are simply judgmental idiots.[/quote]
