I'm a mom, wife, and virtual teacher.
Mom:
My kids are 4, 5, and 7. They can only attend school virtually. My mom helps with them while I work.
My mom has been having health complications so she can't help with the kids. Now, I teach full time, virtually homeschool my kids full time.
My kids are so immune to my voice that now they wont listen and they've begun to slowly but surely tear up the entire house.
I'm at a point where I don't even care. I just clean up the messes and try to maintain my sanity.
Wife:
In January my life got crazy.
I discovered that my husband was cheating on me (non sexually, just texting and having lunch) with his coworker. After a heart-to-heart, I also discovered that he'd been cheating on me on and off with different women since 5 months after we got married.
I'm grappling with this because I was unbelievably faithful and open with him. I want to leave him because I'm so hurt, but I'm scared to leave and scar my children with a messy divorce and broken home. But, I feel like he has subconsciously lost respect for me because I haven't left him.
My situation:
Instead of dealing with it. I told my husband I wanted to not have a monogamous marriage so he could at least continue without me wondering. I'd rather know than wonder.
He "stopped" but part of me doesn't believe him. Why should I?
Now, I have a friend. He's an amazing guy, he understands my situation and doesn't pressure me into anything. We've been talking for like 2 or 3 weeks and we've only hung out twice. I don't see myself being whisked away by this dream guy. But I do see myself being happy in the single life to date (or not). I'm just afraid to leave my husband and be on my own.
Any advice?

Just letting you know my mom and dad have a complicated relationship and theybstayed together coz i was born . I was still scarred coz i was in an unsafe environment 24/7 as my parents always fight. Its like dangerous fight filled of screaming and yelling (no physical abuse). Thanks to them I dont dream of getting married. Just be careful because children pick up behavior from parents and they learn from them what is love. I know a lot of my friends have divorced parents but they aint scarred. The parents stayed as friends. My friends are not broken like me.
