And that is all you need baby girl!!!
Hello there,
Instead of emailing all 40 something of you individually who responded to my email, I wanted to thank you all for your caring and amazing advice. Each and everyone of your advices were well read well analyzed and greatly appreciated. "Who needs a therapist when you have wonderful people out there who care enough to give you their thoughts, and their prayers. I feel that we all go through about the same things in marriage if not most of you understand and whether you agree or not you are very supportive. Right now we are separated, there is actually more to our problems than just the issue I spoke of,Which was the icing on the cake but that is for another topic or maybe a book. Ha, Ha
He of course is being very nice to me. So far now I just want my distance with my boys and we are doing just fine. Thank you all again from the bottom of my heart.

Dear Julie,
Just read your original request, I am the mother of 6 and step mother of 2, Of course, Thank goodness the older ones are now on thier own (kinda). I just wanted to say Lies are Lies and if you have to lie to each other than there are questions that need to be answered. I truly think lying and not being able to trust are DEAL BREAKERS. I know you have 2 boys, and I don't know your financial situation, but you should let him ( your husband) know you are serious about your relationship, Take a break, sign a 3 month lease somewhere nice. He'll either come to realize what he really wants or you'll both have to make some hard decisions. DEMAND respect, or unfortunatly you'll never receive it. Good Luck
I had wanted to respond to the first post but time got away from me. I will keep you and your boys in my prayers. I personally think that you have done the right thing. God bless you and your boys and keep you safe and strong.

Julie,
I was sad to read that you are now separated. I want to let you know that I too became separated from my husband in January after 11 years of marriage and 20 years of being together. Like you, we had issues in our marriage that we were dealing with and I made the decision to separate when I became convinced of his cheating (the icing on the cake).
We have two young daughters (8 and 4) so, needless to say, I was very concerned about separating them from their father. However, I want to let you know that I am happier now than I have been in years and my daughters are coping much better than I had hoped for. It was the best thing that I could have done for all of us. Therefore, please know that you and your sons will be okay in the long run even if it feels bad right now. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason and that everything turns out good in the end.
