I think its worth a shot to try counseling. You may one day forgive....but, it will take a very long time (even a life time) to ever 100% trust again. Nance will have some excellent advice on this and how to regain trust when someone hurts you like he did to you...

I assume speaking of "blemishes" you mean criminally related. Thought of having them expunged? Most misdemeanors can be expunged after a couple of years. You can ask the clerk for information. As to the childcare, is there any before/after school day care that you could put them in? Might benefit them as well as you to be with other kids their age. Just a thought! Thats what I did with my boys, they seem to like it, plus they now have their own friends instead of just themselves to play with. I hate to see any woman put in a situation like this and have to depend on the very a** that put her there. "Moving On" is my motto.

when my ex left me and wanted a divorce I was pregnant. The divorce did not go through till after the baby was born and paternity was established. So mine was basically close to a year.

You know, I would be willing to consider counseling if, and only if, he was willing to go all out. For me to forgive and to move forward in the marriage, he would have to be willing to go to therapy together, and by himself. He would have to be totally open to where he is, who he is talking to, anything that will let him build the trust back. He would have to give up any of his privacy. And he would have to do it willingly, without hassles. He would have to earn his way back into the marriage. Not just with words and promises, but with action. If he had problems with any of these things, then no. No chance. I have been through 2 marriages and 2 divorces. I know what I would do in your situation.

I have known people in this situation and their marriage has not only survived, but grown tremendously. You can overcome this and have a stronger marriage. It is possible if you have willing parties.

Well with the news of me losing the baby, he no longer wants to go to counseling. What an A**! I knew he was just playing his game with me!

Mine went fast

I left in February of 2006
I filed for divorce January 2007 and it was Finalized April 2007 ( I only took so long to file because I couldn't afford to pay the attorney prior to that, being a single mom with no support and all)

Maturity is the ability to control our impulses , to think beyond the moment, and consider how our words and our actions will effect ourselves and others.
