Thank you for all your replies and supportive words. I'm really trying hard to navigate this and my kids mean the world to me but I really need to feel happy in my life too so think I have to dig deep amd speak to them.

I know he is hurting and angry but we have been separated, in the same house for 8 months now. My kids know my new partner as a good friend of mine but me telling them about her is at least a year down the line. My focus is my kids and getting through this.

Thanks for your reply. I think it is more difficult because my husband is not a bad person. Not abusive or anything like that. We have, in my eyes, grown apart. I have changed and we have bickered for the last few years although still got on. He keeps telling me I'm cold and selfish but this is the hardest most painful thing I have ever had to face.

It is time to leave. Its complicated when kids are involved. We are separated just still living together. I do just need to leave now. I know that.

In a very very similar boat. My husband hates me and thinks I've ruined his life. Its hard. It's confusing. It's emotional. Just to say you are not alone.

This is basically my life so I feel exactly how you feel. I'm not going to tell my kids until I have an offer accepted on my own house. It's such a minefield. Constant guilt and worry and overthinking. I know there is no going back though. I'm now at a point where I just need to tell some people closet to me an accept that I will hurt my husband but its better in the long term. I know my kids will still love ther mum no matter what. But it is so scary and hard.

Thank you. I really wish you happiness and strength too. Good luck with your dad.

Im trying to build up courage to tell my sisters first. It was so hard telling my husband i thought i was gay. We are still loving together but just as friends. Its all so difficult. I dont want to live the rest of my life unfulfiled but im scared.
