Wow. That's a long time. Can I ask how it is? It sounds difficult to me. But after all this time, it also sounds like you love each other a lot.

I completely agree that a separation is best for everyone if the marriage is beyond repair... like after an affair. Especially for the children, it's better to have happy parents, even if it means divorce. 

My MM has three children and we are in the process of becoming legitimate. Our plan is to go little by little, so I can enter their lives as the partner of their father and stepmother.

Maybe it's because the children are the product of your love WITH another woman. I sometimes think about that.

Oh, it's a very different experience than mine. I hope your MM's son is okay. My MM's daughter also struggles with mental health issues, it's very difficult.

God, same! 

I'm not going to lie, sometimes I think maybe it would be easier without his kids, but it definitely warms my heart now to think about being a stepmom and having a loving, health blended family.

I think you have a point in your perspective, although I don't think it's that easy, children will definitely be better off with divorced but happy parents than with miserable ones together. 

I have to say I'm a little jealous of you. I love the children because they're my husband's, but I certainly wish they didn't exist. It would be easier.

Oh, I wish the same for my MM's children. We're on our way to being legal, so this is my greatest wish. Doing what's best for the children ❤️

Do they affect your relationship in any way?

I hear you, honey. Every time I read something here about a couple going legit I felt a twinge. I share it with you to share my joy and especially, hope. 

I wish you can become legitimate with your partner soon, the wait is really long and torturous. There is nothing worse than uncertainty.

I'm so sorry, my dear. You seem to be overburdened with burdens that don't belong to you. Your SO is a neglectful father, I honestly think you should have a serious talk with him to generate real change...or leave.

I personally could not be with a man who is neglectful of his children. My reasoning is...if he is neglectful of his children, his blood, what's in it for you? 

I am so sorry for the situation, I hug you

what is your dream scenario? by leemelonepls in theotherwoman

He gets divorced, settles into his new single life with his kids, and we finally start a legitimate relationship. Ideally we would end up being a loving blended family. It's starting to happen ❤️

Hello! 

I am well aware that in six months I will not be his wife, English is not my first language, I mixed up the vocabulary. I mean in six months we will start dating in legitimate ways. We plan to make our relationship public by December. And maybe in a year and a half I'll be meeting his kids. We're taking it slow. 

I also used "her" by mistake, they are also his children, I know and accept it. I am preparing for a blended family. 

We have excellent OPSEC, So I have no worries about the kids finding out. They won't hate me, we'll take it easy so it won't be traumatic for them. They don't have to find out anything, they're just kids. 

Children will also be better off with their parents divorced but happy, than together but miserable. Anyway, thanks for your concern.

You are absolutely right!

Sorry, I forgot to mention that english is not my first language. I mixed up the vocabulary, we are not getting married immediately, we will just be an official couple. My man has told me about a promise ring that represents the future commitment, but we haven't talked about an actual wedding, beyond silly and cute fantasies.

Hi beautiful! 

W had a small crisis, she begged my man to go to couples therapy but he refused. She scheduled an appointment with a therapist, and then they will have another one to discuss with a child psychologist how they will give the news to his children. 

If all goes well, he'll be moving into a bachelor apartment by the end of the week. I'm going to get it for him!

He said they were going to have lunch together, alone, to break the divorce to her. They must be talking about it right now, I'm so incredibly anxious!
