What codes and rituals does your family have?

...that whilst the man of the house is out working and the kids are at school, thou shalt not repeatedly meet and shag some bloke you met at a night out two months ago. Until this morning I thought that rule was still standing, anyway...
Length? I didn't ask, but probably bigger then mine.

just ditch the bitch. Don't be fallin for any of that 'we have to stay together for the sake of the kids' rubbish either. Kids are stronger than they look.
Good luck.

That's nasty. Sorry to hear that. If you need a posse of pliers-wielding nutcases, then I'm sure there'll be some on here that live nearby.

I don't know you, but that's awful.
Take it easy man and get some space.

Not Good. Especially the "repeatedly" bit.
Hope you've got someone to look after you tonight.

Sorry to hear that.
Reminds me of my first wife's "study visits" to Poland!
All the best mate, you have my sympathy.

I was thinking along the lines that if every B3tan laid one stone in my (about to dig) patio, we could get it done in no time and get to the pub! they shouldn't be missed....

is that a Fred West style patio?
Man, you might be hurting but avoid jailtime at all costs. It's not pleasant.

But my ex rang me up at work for permission to screw a co-worker.
(It turned out it had been going on for weeks already.)

over the summer.
I filed for divorce last Friday and feel MASSES happier now.
I've met someone new and can now realise what a crappy relationship I was in before, which at the time seemed "normal" to me.
Do yourself a favour, no matter how hard it may seem and I know you'll have doubts, regrets etc it REALLY does get better and you'll be happier and stronger sooner than you would expect.
Honestly though, looking back I had aspirations of resolving our differences etc but once that damage is done I know I could never love and trust that person again without doubts & worry.
Whatever you decide, good luck. Just know there is the opportunity for a better and happier life out there. Also before everyone tells you the story of doom and gloom about solicitors/legal situations etc you need to know you have a lot MORE rights than you'll be told. Go get some free legal advice and remember you can't be prevented from seeing your kids nor left penniless etc.
