I'm in a similar situation, but I'm separated. Started dating a girl recently and it's really helped my confidence, but she's falling for me. I want to break it off and be friends, but not sure how to go about it. We have no issues I can cite and we get along so well.
I don't recommend drinking any alcohol during this shit time. It can only make things worse. Take care of yourself and put you and your kids first. I'm going thru shit, like you
She's been claiming that she's been afraid of me since finding out about the recent affair. I've been nothing but supportive and encouraging. There's no proof of DV. I yelled at her when I found out and she says that was abusive.
I already tried to fight. This was her second affair in 10 years. She's refusing to seek treatment. She's threatened suicide a couple weeks ago. She's erratic and unstable.
I'm in the beginning stages. Haven't signed anything yet, but we have a date (end of May). It's the date I kicked her out of the bedroom. She has no family and she's the breadwinner. I make less than teacher money, so I feel you!
