My H and I have been seperated for about four weeks. (His choice to leave) On the one hand he says he has to find out if there is anything true to what he feels for the OW. She is still with her H and as far as I know the only contact has been by phone. On the other hand H says he just wants to be single for a while and he's noy sure what he wants from me. We live in a small town with all of his family, who also happen to be a couple of my close friends. My family lives about 250 miles away. My H gives me no emotional support with our kids, he hasn't for a long time. I went through my second preganacy basically alone while he was out having the time of his life with OW. We own a business together and I don't really want to just walk away from it. I am so torn about whether I should stay where I am or if I should leave and start a new life. It's very hard to have to see him every day at work. When I'm at my parents I feel a huge burden taken off. I don't know if that would last if I moved here. I am also afraid it will be the deciding factor as to whether or not my H returns. If I move I will be purchasing a house and planning to go to school. I just want things to be stable for my boys. I don't know how much time I should give it before I decide. I feel so lost right now. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

It sounds as though he has been thinking alot about himself for quite awhile. Wants to know his feelings for OW, not sure what "he wants" from you. It sounds like it is time for you to put yourself and your children first without guilt. Who did he put first when he decided to be with OW, HIM. Who did he put first by leaving you and your children, HIM. Try to think about what is best for you, this emotional turmoil certainly isn't and it must be tough on your kids too, even though they are young. Seek advice from your family and an attorney since you both are in business, and Pray for God to give you the answers. Not necessarily pray for your marriage, but what God has in mind for you and your family. It sounds as if your H has been taking advantage of your Love and patience. I wish you Luck.
