My W told me she will sacrifice her happiness with OM for the kids “for now” and said that there is no hope for our reconciliation because she refused to do so. She asked me to stay for the sake of the kids until they turn 18. (the next 8 years). I don’t know what to do. But we both love the kids very much. She will not leave the house without them and I will not leave the house without them either. If we stay together, we both won’t be happy; therefore, it will have certain affect on the kids. If we divorce now, the kids will feel a lost of a family. Does anybody feel that way too?<P>I’m sorry if this is not an appropriate place to post this question.<P>OOOO<BR>
