Just very confused

Now that I know he is cheating I feel so out of control. He does what he wants. We live together because neither of us can afford to just leave the equity in the house. But he continues on with his life while I try to be sure he doesn't spend all the money and I pay the bills, and I pay the mortgage. But without dual incomes we would lose the house. He stays out late with her - pretending to work. Of course when I call the office there is no response. I think he runs around more now to try to get me to walk away with nothing. Almost 30 years together and this is what I get. I told him last week that if he would continue to pay the mortgage and taxes that he could get out and go live with HER. He told me he needed to be out of the marriage by January and I told him that I wouldn't sign any divorce papers until the house is sold and the settlement on paper. He makes four times what I make but thinks I deserve zip. Anyway - I wish he would just agree to the mortgage and get out. I think his gal pal is pregnant and that's why his urgency. He heads to his shrink weekly. I just don't know what to do anymore. We are at a dead end until the house sells and in this market that will take longer than I can stand to have him in the same house with me.

You need to ask yourself if this IS the way you want to spend the rest of you life! I don't think you do.....I know about the finance thing, but really so what if you loose the house....If the mariage is over, and he is sleeping around and doing whatever he wants....
With you paying bills morgage ect, that tells me you a re a very bright woman who has kept that aspect of it all togeether. So what if you loose the house? there are other houses.....downsize....Are the material posessions worth it? They sure arent for me...I walked out of my dream home that was to be 'full circle for us" and have toldmy boys (grown) I will never step foot in it qgain...I got all my personal belongings...things that are sentemintal to me, and when the house sells, I will get my half....

Sweetie its not worth it...get it over with and heal, then you can start a new beginning!

The courts in Illinois say that 98% of the marriages involve a cheater and since it's a no fault state it is not grounds nor do you get anything extra for finding out that your spouse is cheating -- it's a man's world you know.

Wake UP! If you can prove he's cheating, make him pay for it. Stand up, and say "NO MORE" This is still your life too!
