If you're possibly "staying for the kids' sake" because your spouse doesn't earn, get a grip. Be honest with yourself, your spouse and (eventually) your kids, rather than maintaining an affair they'll find out about eventually anyway.
You can divorce and give your ex what a court orders and even more, if you want to. But claiming you can't divorce because you're the breadwinner is just finding an excuse to stay in an affair rather than being up front and leaving your marriage. You sound as if you're enjoying the drama of being in an affair (and getting an anonymous thrill out of telling a bunch of strangers on the internet that you're out there, so happy with AP, so good at keeping your secret, and just hoping for some titillating ideas on where to hide out).
