For those of you who helped me the last 3 months: My WH filed for divorce today almost 3 months past D-Day and 2-1/2 months past my trying to save our marriage and his not trying. I have 3 small boys - WH plans to be there for them. I feel so hollow. I'm 39 and have been married for 20 years. In my state there is a 6-month waiting period but as far as my WH is concerned, our marriage is over now. I called him a short time ago to confirm he did indeed file and it was yes, I thought you knew I planned to sign the papers today. He is still in a fog - maybe someday he will realize what he threw away today. <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" />

Verysad....

Your post makes me very sad.

I think that people who throw away their family for an A are always going to end up being lonely old people.

My own father was a serial adulterer...but Mom had 7 children, back in the early 60's, and had little or no choice but to suck it up and hold things together.

They finally split (we were all grown, except for my youngest brother who has Down's Syndrome).

Dad married his last fling.....but he is old and blind now, and in bad health. The lady he married is nice enough, but I still think Dad probably regrets his children not being close to him.

To think that these will probably be he last thoughts.....

But, you know what they say here, "It's not over until it's over!!!

Don't give up.....stall. Give it your best shot, then at least you will have no regrets.

((((((((HUGS)))))))))
