Normally I would inspect the car and pay for it. She seemed to be enjoying looking for the car but came home today and suggested that I sell my old but top level mercedes and buy something similar to what she now has to buy. It seems she is starting to realise that her new lifeay not be without a few downs. I know I should put OM out of my mind but how. We were discussing practicals of her moving out and she asked me if I would start looking for someone else. I asked if that was ok and she told me she would not be happy but would understand I joked I had already meet someone and she burst into tears I think she is in a A with OM. PA / EA but knows life will be tough and is struggling with this. Ws family haves advised her to sort out house before leaving but she said she doesn't care about money and just has to get away. Is this normal ? Any thoughts would be great fully accepted. Thanks.

Well my W is currently happy to sign her share of the equity over to me for zero . Doesn't want to cause me or the kids any more problems or to loose the house.
So to us this is normal . Not sure how much is guilt driven ideas .

Hi all. Kids told. Lots of tears but W told them she will be back most days so they calmed down after 10 - 15 minutes Girls sleeping I their mothers bed to night so that will be good for them. A lot more relaxed now just feel W is not doing the right thing. I know it's right for her or so she thinks. W thanked me for helping to tell kids and I told her she was brave doing what she was doing and she answered that she was proberbly being stupid and not brave. New world now and a scary one. I will be putting a lot of extra effort in to keep the kids occupied over the next few days and hope this will help me too Thanks to all that have read and posted.

Sorry to hear you went through all of that. What exactly did you tell the kids?

Hi Mr Bknd. Thanks. W told youngest two, girls that we needed time apart to figure things out. W told them that she didn't want to leave but felt she had to. I reassured then that we loved them both v much and that we would all be happy again no matter what happened. I stayed away from details as the actual news was enough. S15 was told that we needed time apart and that things would be different going forward but we would all be very happy. He did not want to hug W but I hugged him and told him his mum needed a hug so he hugged her. Eldest still to be told but he knows I stressed to all kids that it was nothing to do with them and just a problem between W and me All very sad MrBond and I feel that it's the nail in the coffin for the M. I know that's how I feel now and maybe that might change but I hate that my kids have to go through this. Lots of emotions but strongest one is that I have let my family down. W included
