While I was pregnant with our first child, my husband had an affair with a so-called-friend. We have been together for 9 years ( dating since high school). Our son will be 6 mos. old soon. I was at work and got an annymous phone call....I am truely heartbroken...I don't know what to do. By the way it just came out to me today 2-07-02. I haven't had much time to react but I need advice. Should I kick him out or leave??? Please Help. Kelly-

I am so sorry to hear your story. I can only imagine the pain and sense of betrayal you feel, and the confusion about what to so. I wish my wife were with you so you had someone to cry with. <p>I think you said that you just found out on 2/7, is that right? If so the shock must be overwhelming. I don't know what is the best advice since you didn't mention if he has admitted his infidelity, or if he is repentant. But right now it may be hard to think rationally, so it may not be the best time to make such a hugh decision.<p>You need support! Do you have someone who can be there for you? That is so important, especially with a young child. Are you a member of a church or have a circle of friends to help? You will need this, but not someone who will poison you toward your husband. He may be just as broken as you are, or if he is not he may yet get there.<p>You may need space away from him for a while, so a temporary "kick-out" may be needed. I guess some of it all may depend on whether you still love him and want to stay married to him.<p>You also didn't say if the affair was a one time thing or is on-going. All these things have to be considered before you make that decision. You need good counsel close to home. I hope you can find it. Whatever you do he does need to feel the consequences of his actions. He needs to feel the deep pain he has brought on you. He needs to know how badly his sin has hurt you and your marriage. Seeing your pain would be good for him so he understands how badly he has acted. <p>Sorry I can't do better from here. I hope this helps. I can only tell you how badly I feel for you, and how much God loves you. Run into his arms tonight.
