So my wife is dating this guy...

8,512 793 July 5, 2007 at 07:19 AM in Finance (13)
..I think it's time to dump her. Should we get divorced?

She went out last Saturday night with some guy, stayed out until 1 am. Then on Tuesday, she's out again until 1 am, says they went to eat and then a movie!!?! Last night, 1:30. It's getting later, I guess it's time to dump her! Sadwalk

What would you do?

The kids matter regardless of which adult they belong to. Slap

He is still their stepfather until she remarries. Slap

This isn't all about him and her, there are kids involved. Slap

all this time, i thought this thread was a joke!

op,
sorry to hear about all this. but, i guess it's better this way and good riddance.

it always angers me when i hear stories like these. if ppl want out of a marriage, then get a divorce. why carry on an affair and introduce the kids to the "other man/woman" before any discussion of divorce? it only teaches the kids that it's okay and may confuse the kids too.

It could be... that's why I didn't insist that you go there. Annoyed

He can be a great many things to all of the children so long as he maintains a connection to them. His kids will also probably continue to think of her as their stepmom until such time as they deem her to be dads second wife, which doesn't usually happen with kids until they are adults. Harhar

I just think it would cause his kids more harm than good to continue to have them around this lady... in the long run it would best to quickly cut-off all types of access to this lady(I use this term very and extremely loosely). Tongue
In the long run, he should only be worried about his kids...as these are the only ones he legally will care for... Tongue

Annoyed Nowhere did I say he should leave his kids with her. EEK! That's NOOOOO!!! I'm just talking about the step kids and his kids being able to get together to lean on each other for support. Stealth said the kids were close. Why should they have to suffer the loss of family just because mom wants to be with someone else?

shake head I hope Stealth sees it differently for all of the kids sakes. He's got his kids feelings to consider in this too. They'll suffer the loss of the extended family as well. Sadwalk

If you're serious - take pictures, if you're not - you should do it for a laugh.

Iagree

It sounds like you have been through hell and back trying to figure out the right and mature thing to do. Her children and yours are very lucky that you are in their lives.

hug I know I, along with everyone else here, certainly wish you luck and an easy process through all of this. hug
