I Find Honesty and Trust Very Important In Any Relationship

Which is exactly why my relationship is "complicated" - I recently learned that my S/O has been lying to me about some major things since the beginning, and now the trust that I used to have in him is completely shattered. He tried to present things in a way that made it seem like I was overreacting or just misunderstood things - but he recently had to admit to having an entire other relationship he had lied to me about for months. He has kids whom I love with all my heart, or else I would have been out of this weeks ago when I learned that truth. I just can't figure out how to leave those little ones - I've never been so close to any children and can't imagine never hearing them call me mommy again - but I know I can't stay with their dad just so I can continue to be in their lives and love them. I had concerns about him lying to me a long time ago but ignored my instincts, and now I have to pay the price, but he's still lying to me and I just cannot live a life where I question every single thing said and done.

It isn't just him sleeping with another, it is far was than that. Because he has broken the mutual trust and respect couple share. Innate experienced that with my now ex wife ,but splitting up and divorce is not something to do lightly. Why should the innocent party ,in this case you suffer for it. I do not have the answer I am afraid but you have my support
