We’ve been together for 10 years. We have 4 kids. We moved across the country away from all of our friends and family. We bought a house together.

I shouldn’t be surprised and I guess I’m not. He’s always been a shitty partner. He’s always had eyes for other women. Over the course of our relationship, he’s slept with at least 15 other women. Some of those were during periods of us being separated, others weren’t.

I don’t need anyone to tell me I should’ve left a long time ago, I already know that. At one point I tried and I was very serious about it but he changed the way he was treating me back then to the point where I started believing having a good relationship with him might be possible. Then we got pregnant with our second and for 3 years he played the part of a faithful husband. We had 2 more kids after that, my last being born a year ago. Then things started to revert back to the way they were before.

He took a trip to Peru to go see a friend he met here in the states and apparently took off his wedding ring before the plane even left the airport. He met some girl there and believes they can experience “true love”, something he’s reminded me time and time again through this that he’s never felt for me.

I’m beside myself with the pain this has caused me. I want to lite his world on fire but that won’t fix anything. So a hopefully peaceful divorce is the next best option.

Sigh.
