Thanks for your response! Yes I’m trying to be the big person here because he and I have 4 childrens 20, 18 , 8, 8mths but he is definitily paying for his mistake’s…He knows he has 3 stricks and he’s out! The other women I’m talking about set out since 1997 to trap my husband…Get this she was the one who always call me and told me about the affair because she would threaten him that if he didn’t do this or do that that she’ll call me and tell me about the affair, the children who are 3, adn 6 years old…Now the last time in jul 05 once again she calls me because he broke it off,he told her I was pregnant. She had given him an altermative to leave me or else…I thought alination of affection the spouse had to leave the home? And the Crimnal Conversation do he have to also had left the house? This women knew we were marry due to the store she work at we had an account there, so we had to go there to pay our bills.I swear this man was so good at covering his a\*\* I didn’t know anything, because he kept it all good at home, the sex, he cook the whole 9 yards… ---
