WH has been in an affair for last 5 years- now he says he is leaving… I have known about the affair and was hoping he would find his way back to me and his family. He did not…Now he says he wants a divorce said that in Sept - but he still hasn’t left… financially he can’t afford another place however I have told him to go stay in a friends couch.. He refuses to leave..
I have had it… I was away the other weekend and of course he went to see the whore… I don’t know why but this is my breaking point I want him out of the house and she can have him… I just can’t deal with him carrying on anymore while he is still living with me and the kids…
In someways it is better for me legally if he stays in the house- he is working in business deals that could produce a lot of money… but at the same time I want him out !!!!! I have had it!!!!!!
What should I do???

I am sorry you have been put into this position.
His $ has nothing to do with making him leave.
Obviously each state has different laws / rules pertaining to divorce but while you are legally married, his earnings are still part of your joint assets whether he lives with you or not.
I’d suggest visiting a lawyer or two to learn what you can expect in terms of alimony and child support etc.
Survived two affairs and brink of Divorce. Happily reconciled. 11 years out from Dday. Reconciliation takes two committed people to be successful.

Thank you!
I don’t want to screw myself out of potentially a lot of money by forcing him out too soon!!
Although at this point I want him him out! I am disgusted by his behavior and don’t want to have to watch it from my couch!
I don’t know why it took me so long.. I guess I just held out hope the light would go on and he would come around… my loyalty and love for him has gotten me nowhere….
