Want to Leave Husband - Think Twice?

By Antony J Parkins


No doubt it is almost impossible to stay with a spouse who has cheated on you and you would want to leave husband then and there. There is nothing wrong in doing it because your husband was the one who did not care about the marriage and you were the one who was truthful in the relationship all along. But remember to handle such situations with extra caution because not only you would be affected but your kids and other family members would be affected too.

Upon decision that you really want to leave husband, schedule to have a face-to-face meeting with your spouse in a quiet public place; a public place is strongly suggested so as to minimize the chances of your husband abusing you in any way. Clearly tell your spouse how you feel on his cheating. Plainly tell him about your feelings and about the decision that you want to leave husband. Remain strong.

Never hide this decision from your kids. Always tell them at the earliest; however you do not need to tell them the details of your husband's cheating affair and take care not to belittle him in front of the kids because after all he is their father. Telling them well in time would help them in making the transition to the new state much easily.

Get ready for managing the entire financials by yourself once you have decided that you want to leave husband. Check if you have three months living expenses. If your financial situation is not very well then consider borrowing from your family and friends and return once you are stable enough.

If you want to leave husband, it would affect your extended family too so prepare yourself for some painful, awkward moments with them. You might have to defend yourself and also might have to deal with negative attitudes if you decide that you want to leave husband. Be prepared for mix reactions of shock, anger, sympathy etc. People will make it hard for you but try not to feel guilty because it's your life and you have the right to make decisions about it. If you want to leave husband due to his unfaithfulness, you can do that.
