Not on my part, but on my wife's part.

I relocated from NM to ND this summer only to find out a little over a week ago that my wife had met someone last year, started a relationship, and fell in love with this guy. Sure they were fooling around while I was still in NM and taking care of our daughters. But she let me leave a job I loved, let me sell all of our stuff, and let me drive 1500 miles, knowing full well she had something with someone else.

She was very suspicious last week, and while I had wholeheartedly trusted her, I had to check her phone, and found the intimate messages that revealed what was going on. BTW, she left last year for law school while I finished up my last year at my former school, where I had a successful teaching and coaching gig going.

Anyway, I'm doing the same job up here for about half of what I used to make. I thought everything would be okay. I moved up here to support her and now it looks like I'm going to have to support myself on my meager salary. I'd leave, but we have 2 kids together and they've had enough of being separated from each other, or from one of their parents.

OK, pity party over. Guess the only cure is to start travelling to tournaments now.... Peace!!!
 
Well, I pretty much unloaded my anger and frustration on my wife for 3 days straight. All verbal of course, but I didn't hesitate to say anything to my once life partner. Now we're just trying to be civil for our daughters, 6 and 4. The reality of it still sucks. You think you really know someone, and then out of freakin nowhere you get stabbed in the heart.
 
That is just about the worst news a person could possibly get and you have my condolences. But honestly, you need to leave. You may think it is best for your kids but trust me on this one, a bad relationship, dragged out over time is just gonna make things worse. Believe that, i had to deal with my parents in a bad relationship.
 
Well, I am moving out soon. As soon as I can get enough money to get out of here. I'm still going to be in the same town for the time being. Not staying to really help her out as much as I'm staying because my daughters really missed her last year and couldn't wait to be with her again.

It hasn't been the conventional relationship that's for sure, but she's a good mom to the kids. Were there no kids, I would've straight up packed and left right away. But the relationship part of it is over.
