    Yes, I agree he is going through a mid life crisis, but I feel I've done all I can do and stood by him as long as I could. I urged him to go to therapy, reach out to friends, seek supports but he didn't.
    The latest is that I kicked him out last night after I overheard a conversation he was having with another woman. Supposedly this started "after we separated" but in my book we are still married. He crossed the line for me and I asked him to leave. I told him I still love him and that I would take him back when he is ready to work on us, but he better be ready to do a lot of work because there's been a lot of damage done. I know he was not expecting me to take this action because he knows that I have always been there for him and do everything to save and help him. Now, he's going to experience a reality check. I still keep the faith and hope, but I'm not focused on that anymore. Now, it's about me and my kids.

    This sounds like mid life crisis for him, you sure he didnt ask for separation because there was someone else on the scene with him ? If he's reacting to his crisis the way he is then surely he needs help and there's possibility of getting togather.

    But that does not mean there should be unconditional love from your side. You need to make him reaise that his decision has had a big effect on your life. You were willing to go through the tough times as a team and work your way out of it, but leaving you alone he's made it difficult for you and himself.

    I think you need to make him realise that there is a way out of the crisis and both of you can work togather at it. I do hope things work out, good luck and keep us posted.

    I am sorry for your pain. You seem like an honest, loving person who believes in love and accepting people for who they are. I think you have done everything you can do to save this marriage. If your husband doesn't see the the whole, big picture of life then I feel sorry for him. You have been working on yourself and that is key, I must take my own advice and do the same, you deserve to be loved the way you give love, I wish you all the best in the future , take care.
