We don't dispute your desire to get divorced and can help you there. But no one here is going to help you pursue an affair with a dirtbag. There is no future in an affair. If you "regret" your affair deeply, then end it.

I don't regret the relationship with the OM, I regret that it was an affair and that is the opportunity I took to leave. I wished I had left my husband without anyone else in the picture. I knew my husband would become vindictive and spiteful when I left. Which is why I was afraid to leave for years.

You will regret your affair, everyone does. You are making a huge mistake and setting a very poor example for your children. You aren't going to get any support here committing adultery.

No, one that supports me with my divorce.

By leaving the marriage during an affair, you go with a corpse strapped to your back. Drop the affair so you leave unencumbered.

You will only find support for the divorce minus the affair here, which is what you got.
End the affair, complete the divorce.

Many divorce attorneys will see you with a free initial consultation. Call around.

I have called 37 divorce attorneys and legal aid so far. I will keep trying.

Perhaps I will come back once the relationship with OM is over. Thanks again.

We support the decision to divorce, but any place that supports your affair is no friend. That is not "support," but enabling.

You admit in your very thread title that you are ending your marriage the wrong way ...

Are you enjoying the drama?
