I took off my wedding band around 8:00 or so last night. I didn't do a FB status update to mark the occasion.
It's been more than 12 hours and there is still an indention and a lighter stripe of skin to remind me where it was.
By this time next week, both should be gone.
I suspected that something was going on. But there is a big difference between suspecting and actually finding out. Last night I had a conversation with the other guy. He confirmed that they are a couple and have been physical. He didn't know that she was married, but didn't seem to terribly concerned to find that she was married.
The wife called me later in a rage. How dare I intrude into her life! She was actually attempt to keep two households--me and the kids in one and her other guy and his daughter in another.
Her family in California was starting to suspect something and she had been hiding. Now it's out and she hates me for telling them.
What a mess.

I empathize with you. Yes, what a mess. It never ceases to amaze as to how vehemently angry the guilty party gets at the innocent. Sorry to hear of your situation.

Been there, done that. Happens to the best of us. Some of us twice. Maybe the best is yet to come for you, at least I hope.

It is real and I guess I do need a new hope.

Very sorry to hear that....been there (but not quite so creatively)
It will get better...trust me.
You might even learn to trust again and find a great woman who loves you and won't do that to you (I did)

I don't understand it either. Once it was out she was throwing everything at me. She is cheating because I never loved her--because I got mad and called her names(about 11 years ago)--because I cheated on her once(never actually happened.)

Just remember, it probably had nothing to do with you. Her failure to honor her commitments to you and family should speak volumes.
I'm sorry to hear this. It is easier said than done but it is best if you focus on the future and not the past. Everything that transpired before "8:00 last night" is written in stone, no discussion, study or analysis will help or make it better. You have to understand you will have a "new normal" now, this is what you have to work on, making it the best life for you and your children. Every new day is an opportunity for you to make a better life for yourself.
Not gonna rehash. I empathize with you 'cause I've been there. Only advice for now is get a GOOD lawyer who specialized in helping men. Follow his advice to the letter and "hunker down" because a lotta "stuff" is gonna be flying.
It will get better

This will only make you stronger. Bravo for you. Persevere!!
They don't like to be called 'divorce lawyers' anymore. Now, they call themselves 'Domestic Litigators'. Charge more than a divorce lawyer. Some of us have been there, it sucks!
So sorry to hear this, Keep your chin up and you will get through it....
It Happened to me. She was cheating but it still cost me a fortune. Now I'm with Miss Right and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. YOU WILL BE FINE. AND DON'T FORGET THAT.
WOW, Good luck and bright future.
