Interesing read....
I was good enough to be married to for 21 years, birth and raise his kids, but a cook his food, wash his clothes, pay the bills, etc...BUT suddenly, by coincidence, he has the courage to get out now....when a 29 year old comes into the picture. He is 50.
I believe this will it last. Not sure how long, but these two can't possibly be the ones who out shine all the others and become a forever couple....
He is loosing so much. It's a shame all tr effort he is putting into this A wasn't put into making a great marriage.

He will resnt the OW because he made a great sacrifice for her and she won't live up to expectations. They will lovebust each other until one of them runs away to another bad relationship. I see it alot in the military affairs ruin the moral compass and judgment of an individual. They say its not about making mistakes that defines you but what you do after your mistakes.

Why do I get the crap attitude?? Because he's wayward and waywards are manipulators and always turn things. If you're in Plan B then how are you "getting his attitude"?

I don't have to talk to him to get the attitude...I see him at sports functions, etc....just the vibe he puts off...jerk.
Do they know they are manipulating and turning things around?
Or do they shut off that button??

So I just told my older son about everything.
He has been away at college and I have been unable to tell
Him about the bad marriage, divorce, husbands A and my A 15 years ago.
He is very upset. Mad initially at just my husband and now mad at me for what I did 15 years ago. I told him I tried so hard to make the marriage work, that I stood by his dad through all his problems, gambling addiction, etc.
He won't even speak to me....what do I do???

You did the right thing for now. Your continuing Actions of Openness and Honesty will speak much louder than any measly words could say, although he too will need to see both the words of remorse and the coinciding actions to back them up.
Is he home from school, or still away?
Keep asking for advice.

So husband and I told kids about divorce, affair, etc.
Kids very hurt and upset of course.
When they asked my H pointed questions about his A he dodged and darted around them, made excuses and diverted.
All that I expected.
Kids deserved to hear the truth.

Kids deserved to hear the truth. That is why you should've told them the truth on your own. Do they know the truth?

The boys knew the truth before we all sat down together. I told them.
They both called my H out on many things....yet never got the truth.
It's a shame.

It's a shame. Glad you told them the truth. The kids know their dad is a liar. When will you be able to get into Plan B? Is he moving out?
