My live in BF of eight years has had two affairs since we have been really together. The first was five years ago. He moved out and after the affair came back. He just did it again. It started in April and I knew about it immediately. He would even call her from our home.
He broke it off on Mother's Day and she called less than two weeks later. He ended up leaving for 5 days. He realized how much I meant to him and he came back and swore of no contact. She contacted last Friday stating she was pregnant.
He contacted her today with the excuse he had to know what she was going to do. Now they are talking again.
He has a lot of mental problems and is on medication. He is also an alcoholic.
When he told me he called her topday it totally devastated me again.
We are both in counseling separately.
He feels he needs his own place to get his sh** together.
How much more of this can I take?
I am a wreck.
Should I just throw him out and get on with my life or try to work it out?
I just don't know anymore.
I am trying to be supportive of him because of his mental problems, but it is becoming more and more difficult.
He is addicted to women. He is constantly saying how this one and that one are attractive. Now he's even saying how attracted he is to his ex wife.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Inrecovery,<p>I am so sorry for what you are going through. You have been forgiving and trusting, and maybe you have done enough of that for now.<p>What about you? Maybe some time alone would help YOU, forget about him for a while. If he has done this twice, what would he need to do for you to trust him again? And can he do that?<p>My prayers are with you.
