Um yeah, leave! I was a stay at home mom for 18 years. He told me he was having another affair when I was three months pregnant with our youngest. Not because he is such an honest guy but because everyone he worked with knew and would tell me. So I tried again because hey, I was pregnant, what exactly was I going to do to support myself and four kids.
So things continued to be bad and really even if he wasn't having an affair it always felt like it because the trust was just gone. My fave was he left his cell phone at home and our oldest answered. He was around 16 at the time, she was soooo stupid she didn't realize it was our son so started talking....he said my dad is at work and hung up. He then turned to me and asked are you going to put up with this? No way in hell. Now he swore up and down that was it, he would change since I was so insecure. Excuse me? I am insecure? You cheat! you cheat a lot!! Insecurity would be if this was all in my mind.
So tried one more time but he was then attacking the kids because they were defending me. The last straw was when he was out at the casino all night and picked some chick up there. No way in hell I was ever sleeping with that guy again. I filed two weeks later.
It took me four years to get my masters, not that I actually use it at the moment, and I have supported my kids ever since. You need to get it out of your head that you cannot support them. That it is easier to stay with him. If you stay your kids will find out and they will lose respect for you if they have any idea that you are allowing this to happen.
Best thing I ever did for me and my kids!!!!
I am insecure! stupid tool!!
