How many of the advice givers here are actually married???
Marriage and the kids are tough things to dispense with. Not the same as a three-week fling.

Sorry to go back to an older discussion, but I wanted to say something here and it took me a while to get up my courage to sign up and then I had some trouble signing up (I haven't participated in one of these boards before, though I have followed this one off and on since I started trying to figure out what was going on with the enormous salary increases a couple years ago).
I think Mister Ebola has pointed out something important. This is a marriage with kids and that is not to be taken lightly. I know you have gone to therapists, Dealtoy, but have you talked to your pastor, overseer or other religious? It is very important that you put the kids first, and that you think through what this will do to them. You should spend time contemplating what is happending from their eyes, and if you are comfortable with it you should pray for guidance. There are successfull single parents out there, but it sounds like you may need to be the stabilizing influence for your children in these tough times. I know that there is so much confusion out there, but there are many people who are willing to help people in need.
Oh, and I met my wife when we were teenagers. I'd admired her for some time, but hadn't talked to her. One day I drank too much at a party and she took me home. We did have a bit of a rocky time when I became more religious after we had a late term miscarriage with our second child, but we stuck it out and now she comes to assemblies, too.
