I have been in an unhappy relationship for 3 years. It was a mistake to even get involved in the first place but I did, probably out of boredom and frustration but I never intended it to last. God knows what I was thinking at the time.
Anyway, we moved in together. I have two DC's (one who thinks DP is great and see's him as a father figure and one who really doesn't like him) and DP has a DD who I get on well with. She's 14.
Anyway, a few months ago, I decided enough was enough. I was in a stronger finantial position, I have a whole new circle of friends, I have my confidence back and I'm happy. My only problem is living here with DP.
So I began to make preperations to find my own place. I also became involved with another man. Now it's all become one big mess because I swore I'd never be unfaithful, I feel guilty 24/7, I wonder what the kids will think etc etc and what I thought would be an easy 'move out' now seems impossible. What the hell do I tell him?? what do I say to the kids?
DP, DS1 and DSS are going to be gutted. Part of me wonders if I should stay to keep the peace but its not fair on DP and it's not fair on myself. Nobody is ever going to be happy like this. But in the short term, everyone is going to hate me.
I just don't know what to do.
