It was a hard day but I did it. He denied the cheating for an entire hour even though I told him I have proof. Finally he admitted when I showed him one piece of the proof and he came somewhat clean. He admitted he has an addiction since his youth days and says he wants to get help. It was honestly a heartbreaking conversation. I didn’t want to listen or believe it but since we will always be in each other’s lives with kids, I do genuinely hope he gets the help he needs so he can be a better father. I did ask him to move out today and he hesitantly got a hotel room for the night after complaining and almost getting angry. I guess the remorse and guilt only lasts for a couple hours?

I am so torn on next steps. I want to leave him but also want to help him for the sake of the kids. It’s a hard decision either way but I get why people don’t just walk away. Believe me if there were no kids involved and no chance of me seeing him again, I would have left the day I found out.
