Divorce is just a technicality and imminent. My kids love me and of this I am sure. I am a proud mother and protective of them! I will not be leaving them. It will be their option to stay close to friends or not, but I feel they would rather live with their father. Their Dad and I have not fought for custody. We let the kids decide where they are most comfortable and also the Dad is in another relationship as well!!!
Call it whatever you want - pretty it up however you can to justify it - but your kids will feel abandoned.
sierra, you might have to have kids to understand this one okay?
You and I both left home at 17 so we know not all 17 year olds need "mama" the same way - but we were girls.
Kids are the ones that are SUPPOSED to leave home, not mom.
When mom leaves before a kid is ready to be off on his own I can almost gaurantee you there will be problems, especially for a boy. There would of course be exceptions to this, but a good mom would not want to run the risk.
A young man is going to chose a woman, most times subconsciously, on who their mom is. Oh sure, they can outwardly claim to hate her or be disgusted by her and STILL chose women just like her.
This mom has already made enough bad choices that will most likely dramatically effect her sons. Completely getting up and going off with a man who is not their father and whom they greatly dislike is a disaster in the making.
I don't observe particularly good results of this babying forever.

How do you break it to them? You just tell them. And you prepare yourself for the probable resentment and rift that will follow and color your life for many years. Sorry. This is your choice, and your happiness, as you say, but you have to be willing to accept the fact that while it may cause you happiness on the man front, it's probably going to cause you unhappiness on the children front. You're the one who has to decide which is worth more in your life.

Please stop screaming and insulting this poster. You are out of line.
This has not been my experience. My 19 yr old daughter was at the dinner table almost every night of the week until the day she left for college. My 13 year old is home every school night and glued to my side most of the weekend. I do not think this is exceptional.
Yep, my parents had a house full of teens (four of us at once), and we had a functional family that talked, enjoyed one another's company, and spent time together (in addition to spending time with friends, in sports and other extracurriculars, going out, etc.). It seems to comes as a shock to some that "teenager" does not necessarily equal "sullen, black-clad, hiding in room, sneaking out windows, and avoiding parents at all costs," or that most teens, in fact, would be distressed with their mother telling them, "Yep, got a new man...moving away with him...I really need to start a new life that doesn't involve you, but you can come visit if you like, even though you don't get along."
He is also separating from his relationship to be with me. It is a very difficult situation. What should I do?
How long do you see this relationship lasting? If he will cheat with you then he may cheat on you.
