Staying in a loveless marriage is also a broken home. Remember that. I think you should let him go. Say your peace and just separate

Don’t make your children grow up in a home filled with hate or resentment.
He’s “Away”? Drugs and alcohol? Get your kids out of that situation too. I grew up with an alcoholic father who was more interested in drinking and spending time in the bar than having a family.
It sounds like he’s made up his mind so it’s time for you to do what you need to for yourself and your kids.

Because he is gone to get treatment it’s the best time to pack and move and when and if he does get home then he doesn’t have to worry about being with you or not cause you made the choice for him
if both wants each other then let her have all the stress and cheating
If he cheating with you he will cheat on her
First you need to stop making excuses for him. He told you he’s in love with someone else so face it. Now you need to think about you and the kids. Broken homes can still be happy homes for your kids unless you make it bad for them. Do amicable co-parenting and move on. You can’t force someone to love you

Everything will fall into place. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Take this time to take care of yourself also!!! We get wrapped up in our kids and husbands and jobs and household responsibilities that we often put ourselves on the back burner. Go get your hair done at a nice place, buy a new outfit that makes you feel beautiful and sexy, get your nails done and just do any and everything you can think of to take care of yourself. This alone should remind your husband who he fell in love with and married. Having young kids is so hard and it’s so easy to get lost. Try to get some quality time alone with your husband to focus on your marriage and light that flame again. A weekend away or even an evening out. In the end if he has decided to leave the marriage, you will get through that also and end up with a man who loves you more than anything. You will get through this. The more you take care of yourself, the easy this will be. Don’t let yourself sink into a black hole of misery. Mind over matter. You can do this!

A “broken home” is better than being raised in a toxic environment where the people are only together bc of the kids. You and your kids deserve a loving home, with a partner who wants to provide that environment for you and the kids.

If he told you that he’s in love with someone else, why would you stay? Don’t put yourself through that. You deserve more than to be someone’s 2nd best. Focus on self love and taking care of your children. A better man will come along and love you CORRECTLY. Let him go and he will eventually see that the grass isn’t greener on the other side, and when he comes crawling back, reject him and tell him that you’re in love with someone else.
Also, are you sure the baby you watched overnight isn’t HIS? I’d be doing an at-home DNA test the next time I babysat

Unfortunately all the time and work you’ve put into your relationship doesn’t mean anything when the other person is no longer invested. It’s not that it doesn’t mean anything it’s just that it’s not enough to make him stay. Is it worth it to try and make your husband and yourself AND your children miserable by forcing yourselves to stay together for the kids? That never ends well. You’ll just inflict trauma on yourself and children. Let him go.

You don’t mention whether she is in love with him? He may have been in the friend zone forever with this woman and just can’t deal with romantic rejection from her. However, regardless of whether she reciprocates his feelings, he has made his feelings toward you clear. He isn’t in love with you. Get out of the relationship and work on providing a decent co-parenting relationship with him when he gets back.
Let him go ok move on
But how does she feel?

Just because you’re together, doesn’t mean your kids wouldn’t grow up in a broken home because how do you ever trust him? I doubt he will ever cut her out of his life, so why stay if it’s just going to show a different kind of broken? They deserve to see happiness, especially from their parents.
“Away getting help”, yeah ok. Kick him to the curb for your kids AND you!

Start checking lawyers and get yourself tested and file now. That doesn’t mean in the future things can’t work out but for now you need to protect yourself and your children. He’s already having an emotional affair. Do you want to stay with him and have your kids grow up in a super dysfunctional family that affects generations of your family? Are you gonna save up money for the therapy to undo what they learned? Bc that is what will happen if you rugsweep.

Having your children grow up in a “broken home” is better than them growing up in a unhappy home. Personally I would walk away. He might have things going on with him but that is absolutely no reason for his behavior to be excused.

You said he’s in love with her, but didn’t necessarily convey that they’re in a relationship or if she even feels the same way. Did he cheat? Or is he just being honest about his feelings? Because those are very different things. Either way, it seems the relationship is pretty much over. You may not want your kids to have a broken home, but do you really think that normalizing a loveless marriage is a better alternative? If you’re still on good terms, than end it on good terms. You’re children deserve to see the best of both of you. No need to become angry and bitter at each other. You may not feel this way, or realize it at this moment, but he did you a favor.
U won’t allow ur kids to be in a broken home? I wouldnt want to force a man to love me when he clearly doesn’t and I damn sure wouldn’t want to bring my kids up in a home of unfaithfulness and arguments and learn to hate.
A happy home is better imo

A broken home is not one where one partner is gone. Its not giving enough love to your kids. Look ive been a single mom for way too long, I gaurentee my kids have so much love that the term broken home doesn’t not mean two parents together. If he needs help, go get it, figure things out on his own. Dont be the one who drags your kids into his problems. They don’t deserve that.

No offense but your home is already broken and is only going to be detrimental to your kids. If he confessed he is “in love” with her then he has already been cheating on you for a while. Be smarter and stop feeling bad for him and use potential diagnoses to excuse his behavior. Time to move on, he is not in love with you anymore.

Urgh I hate the term broken home. 
it would be a broken home if the mom and dad living together shouldn’t be together. Now that shut is broken for sure. Only you can answer your own questions. Only you know if u can forgive. I mean you can totally be in live with more than one person and not act on it. But I would definitely sit down and talk about this “issue” before I made any decisions on whether to leave or not. Good luck hun x
You say he is having health problems. Meds and pain make you think of something that might be better, but not. I love my bff, but I love my hubby more. He was and will always be there for me. He is my anchor. Talk to her, it may not be reciprocated. Medical problems cause mental problems also

A divorced home isn’t a broken home - the home they’re currently in is. Having an undiagnosed, or diagnosed illness, or 4, is no excuse for being a shit human. You still loving him is honestly irrelevant if he doesn’t want to be with you. You loving yourself enough to leave them both to their shitty behavior is relevant though, and it’s quite honestly the only thing that matters right now, as that’s where your strength will come from to stand up for yourself and your children - which is what they will remember. There will be a domino effect that happens regardless of the choice you make. That domino effect can strengthen you and your children or it can break you and continue the cycle into their lives. The choice is yours. 
Do you really want him if he wants someone else??? I could not bear to be with a man whode wanting someone else. Noone wants to be second choice. I just dont think a married person should be best friend with one of opposite sex. You set your standard…if you can live like that, not much advice will you take.

There is nothing to do when someone doesn’t love you anymore, the faster you accept it the better will be for all , it’s not even relevant who he is in love with because still not you .
A friendly divorce is the healthiest thing to do , you can still support him about whatever issues he has because not matter what you will be family forever.
And please do not use your kids and the broken home narrative to stay , your kids will be more happy growing on two different homes but with love and respect than growing up on a unhappy one .

It’s better for your kids to be in separate homes then for you guys to be together for them. They will know and think this is how relationships are supposed to be like. Don’t ever beg or try to convince someone to stay with you. He loves someone else then let him go and find someone you deserve who actually loves you.

It’s only a broken home if you allow it to be you can co parent together and give them a full life. My husband and I are sperated have been for years but we are still friends.
I think the main thing you’ve said here is “was”
When was this? Are you willing to help him get through whatever he’s going through if he wants things to work with you? If he’s not sure where his loyalty lies then personally I’d pause things & tell him to get help then if you both want the marriage go to councilling
Your home is already broken and your kids know it and can feel it please find your happiness

What is broken about a home with only one parent? By whose or what standards must we stay? Even when we clearly aren’t In love ?
I’m intrigued by this standard of “you must absolutely stay together” his told you his in love with someone else. Your home has probably been a little different in the children a eyes anyway.
You know what makes a broken home? 2 people who aren’t in love staying together for the kids and creating a toxic environment because they can’t just separate and co parent. X

If he’s in love with someone else. Do you really want to try and force him to Stay?
Even if he has things wrong with him . He wants someone else.
Not trying to be mean . But I personally wouldn’t want to stay with a man who doesn’t want me and is with me for the kids. Cause he’ll start cheating if he’s not already.
If my husband told me this. I would have him leave and file for divorce. I won’t ever be second.
