Need advice. I just found out that my husband has been cheating. I have evidence of a few lies and been very much betrayed. Leave or work it out?

Let him know, but try to figure a solution with him that will work for the kids as well. I don't think a divorce is a good idea.

@Dan193 I have always thought it was a bad idea to stay because of the kids. Why would you expose the kids to that environment?

@TimSummers Because you fucked it up. Even if you've been cheated on, that's partly your fault for not being more involved in the marriage. So why would you burden the kids when the parents fuck up? Just take the responsability and sacrifice yourself for your kids happiness. At least until they grow to leave home and make a family of their own.

@Dan193 You work on a solution to save the marriage not the kids. For the most part the kids will be better off in a stable, honest relationship with one parent than with both parents where one cheats and lies. What type of example is that setting for them? I hope they work it out because they are truly in love and want to work it out.

@TimSummers That's why you talk and your work it out for the kids. You signed up for this you pursue it to the end. You don't just throw the towel when shit goes south. The kids need a mom and dad. Just one parent is not enough.

@Dan193 So what you are saying is that all those kids being raise by just one parent are doing only half a job????

@TimSummers Im saying that if you get married and conceive a child, you don't get lazy and do your job as a parent. Your main focus should be giving them a happy, full, childhood experience.
You don't need to ask a bastard if they would've liked to have a father. Most of them grow to resent one of their parents for not giving them the childhood we all deserve.
