    I am so sorry that you are in such emotional pain and your family is torn apart. None of us knows what the future holds but, even if you are hoping for a reconciliation, I would STRONGLY suggest you consult a family law attorney and protect your assets and yourself legally ~ just in case things don't work out.

    WHile obviously, I don't know your husband, I would not blame his actions on the circumstances of being apart and alone

    . A thought ~ there are many men and woman who travel and are deployed and stay faithful to their marriage and connected to their families. You were also separated from your husband due to his job ~ I don't see any mention that you broke your marriage vows or were looking for another *relationship*.

    I am not trying to discourage or take away any hope for your marriage to survive this but for the sake of your emotional health & your children, just remember that even though your husband may have some wonderful qualities, right now, he is a known liar and cheater and has acted with total disrespect for your marriage and family. Good Luck!

    Sounds like the love between is still there ... This is soo sad :( .. He has really mucked up, I believe what you are feeling is totally natural .. of course you are angry and you feel hatred toward him but you've been with him for 30 years you still care and love him as he does you I feel he is really regretting his actions. I really hope things work out, I wouldn't file for that divorce yet maybe she's pushing him into it .. Try really having a good honest talk to him ! You know him inside out

    Sorry to hear ur going through this... I have had a very different scenario, am going through a divorce and it is awful...I had the same feelings for my ex as u describe but I have since realsed he was "keeping me warm" u til someone better came along and so I would be nice in the divorce....

    I am not saying that ur husband is like that, all I want u to know is at by the sounds of it, ur husband was ruthless enough to cheat on u with someone else and then too cowardly to come and face u and his children....what does that say about his character, how do u know he won't do that again, if he missed his family why did he not take a flight to see u instead and also Most importantly : is he good enough for u ( I know difficult question, after 10 years with my soon to be ex husband part of me still feels like yes he was good enough- but it's my heart not my mind saying that....)

    I wish u all the best moving forward, please apply logic as well as emotion to ur next actions...
