Wow, Z- he came to you? Do we have anyone else who actually came forward all on their own? You didn’t suspect anything or almost find something so he panicked and “came clean” hoping to shut you down? I don’t mean to be skeptical but most of them only admit as much as they feel they can get away with and then only if they are caught or otherwise have their back to the corner.
Shattered, here’s my take on the kids- I would love my kids even if I had them with another man who didn’t cheat on me. Maybe there’s something wrong with me thinking that way because everyone else seems to think that the kids make it worth it. My kids are everything to me, but I don’t see them as a compensation prize for my lousy marriage- I don’t mean that to sound as harsh as it probably does. I just think we could have had the kids AND the great marriage if these guys didn’t steal so much of our lives. And now everyone, kids included, are hurt because of them and their penis activities. Maybe I would feel differently if doc e had been a great father (but what great father does this to his children’s mother- just cannot separate the two).
