Young adult ponders leasing car to mom
More importantly, it is time for you to start giving back to the people who have given so much to you. This is going to feel good.
Dear Amy: My Husband of 18 years has confessed to having had five long-term affairs during our marriage. In addition to his infidelity, we have been dealing with his drinking.
We have three children (the youngest is five). My husband has said he wants to stay married, but has shown no effort to rebuild the trust he squandered.
I want to end the marriage.
I am considering the "nesting" style of divorce -- where the kids stay in the home while my husband and I switch back and forth from an apartment.
Long term, do you think this is successful?
I stayed home with my children for 10 years. I now have a full-time job, but my income is low. My husband can't afford child support/alimony, which is why I think "nesting" could work for us.
I feel trapped in our unhappiness.
Amy, what are your thoughts on nesting?
-- Sad Wife
