He's having an affair: Should you go?

This is a big step and not one to take in the middle of emotional turmoil. If you're still very angry, hurt or confused you are not ready to make this decision .
So ask yourself:
1. Have you given yourself enough time to consider this properly?
2. Are you sure that this relationship is over and there's absolutely nothing you or your partner could do to save it?
Warning: 'Breaking up is not an easy way out,' says Paula Hall. 'You still have to 'get over' what he did. And if it's a long term relationship with children involved, you'd be wise to get professional help before making this decision.'

But this aticle makes no mention of what to do if he walks out the door becaue you now know, which is what my husband did, or how you deal with a child who is falling apart becasue her dad won't see her when you are falling apart becasue he won't talk to you either.

Oh my god, I thought I was mad! I carried on as normal for 18 months, then something triggered it and brought it to the surface I thought I was over it, but over night turned into a mad woman SOO much anger, I was just stuck on the denial page! Would be easier still to be there to be honest!
