my husband and I hadn't been getting on for a while (6 months -ish) and I suspected him of an affair - I confronted him and he said that he has "probably got too close to' someone from work over the last 12 months but this is not the main reason he is unhappy and does not have a bearing on him leaving. He said that it's over, does not want to go to counselling and I asked him to leave that evening if there was no chance of us reconciling things. That was almost a week ago and we have had one phone call about our 2 yr old daughter - He just kept talking about needing space. I am still numb with shock and barely functioning - Just about manage to keep it together to take my daughter to the childminder in the morning and pick her up. I know we need to talk - mainly about our daughter but I don;t know what's normal in terms of how often he sees here. I quite often hear of every other weekend but is that norma ? Good for the child ? I am trying not to let my bitterness get in the way of ay decisions as she is the most important thing here but equally surely if he has made the decision to walk out of our home and leave us then he should have to deal with the consequences ? He adores our daughter and it would kill him not to see her at least once a week but isn't that something that he should have to live with, as I have to live with the fact that my life has just fallen apart ?
