That story hurts because it’s real. Twenty years is not small. Kids are not small. But neither is betrayal.
If I were in that situation:
• Stay for the kids, or walk away?
If there is ongoing cheating and addiction with no real change, I would walk away. Kids need a peaceful home more than a “together” home full of pain and disrespect. Staying in constant hurt teaches them the wrong lesson about love.
• Fight for reconciliation, or protect your peace?
I would try once only if the person truly wants help (therapy, rehab, accountability). If he don’t choose change, I protect my peace. You can’t fight alone for a marriage.
• One key advice right now?
Don’t beg someone to choose_attach someone who already walked away in their heart. Choose yourself. Keep your dignity. Pain will pass, but self-respect stays.
• How to rebuild solo?
Start simple.
Therapy or someone safe to talk to.
Exercise, even small walks.
Spend real time with your kids.
Reconnect with old friends.
Don’t rush dating. Heal first.
Build a life that feels steady before inviting someone new into it.
• Kids involved—co-parent or low/no contact?
If the other parent is safe and responsible, co-parent calmly and keep it about the kids only. If addiction or chaos continues, limit contact and protect the children emotionally and physically.
Now your last question:
“What joy can come from life with someone who boldly stopped choosing you long ago?”
Very little.
Love needs two people choosing each other again and again.
If only one person is choosing, it’s not partnership it’s loneliness inside a relationship.
The only possible joy would be comfort of familiarity or fear of being alone—but that’s not real joy. Real joy comes from mutual respect, safety, and being wanted.
Sometimes walking away is not giving up.
Sometimes it’s the first time you truly choose yourself.

Here's my Entry 🥰 🥰
💔 #BreakingPoint Advice

If I were in their shoes (spouse drinking/cheating with no change):
• Stay for kids or walk away? Why?
👉👉I’d walk away. Kids don’t need parents who are together—they need parents who are healthy. Staying in a broken marriage teaches them to normalize pain.
• Reconciliation or protect your peace first?
👉👉Protect your peace first. Reconciliation only works when both people choose change. One-sided effort just becomes self-betrayal.
• One key advice right now:
👉👉Don’t confuse loyalty with self-abandonment. Loving yourself is not quitting—it’s surviving.
• Rebuilding solo (dating, therapy, self-care):
👉👉Start with therapy, routine, and silence. Heal before dating. Rebuild confidence through small wins, honest friendships, and learning who you are without chaos.
• Kids involved—co-parent or low/no contact?
👉👉Co-parent respectfully if possible, with strong boundaries. No contact only if the environment stays unsafe or toxic.
• What joy can come from life with someone who stopped choosing you?
👉👉None that lasts. Any comfort is temporary, but the loneliness is permanent. Real joy comes from being chosen—or choosing yourself when they won’t.
Final thought:
Walking away from disrespect isn’t failure. Staying where you’re unloved slowly destroys the soul.

💔 #BreakingPoint Advice
This is my breaking point right now. After two years of marriage, I found out my husband has a mistress. But when I asked him, he dump all the blame to me. He did not show any remorse nor ask for my forgiveness. That's the time I decided to walk away. I told him to be happy for his choice, and our daughter will know him as her father. I still ask him to send some financial support every month as I don't have any work right now. I decided to forgive him for what he did to me. My priority now is to nurture my daughter to grow strong and independent, help her to walk the right path and help her to become a better person. If my husband will show remorse someday and reconcile, I'll still choose myself and my daughter because living with peace is better than having some sleep problems and thought confusion or worry.
📍 Would you stay for kids, or walk away? Why?
I'll choose to stay away because I want to reclaim my self worth as a woman. I don't need someone who doesn't appreciate me and take my love for granted. The kids I can take them with me, and will support them.
📍 Stay and fight for reconciliation, or protect your peace first?
I'll protect my peace first because I believed that even though I'll fight for reconciliation if there is no remorse, it will end up nothing and he will do it again.
📍 What's one key advice you'd give them right now?
One key advice is love yourself first. Don't try to fight for anything if the other party is unwilling to give up what he wants to do. Don't dwell on his empty promises that one day he will change and love you for who you are. Once a relationship is stained, even if you forgive each other and reconcile, you will always think of what he did in the past. Your foundation is already shaken, weaken and fragile causing one partner to be suspicious all the time.
📍 How would you rebuild solo (dating, therapy, self-care)?
I would do self care, prioritizing and loving myself first so I can forgive those people who has hurt me in the past, and I can move forward to the next chapter of my life. I'll let go of my past mistakes and forgive myself for the shame and the hurts that I experienced from the person who once promised to love me at all times.
📍 Kids involved—co-parent or go low/no contact?
I believe that kids should feel the love of his/her parents even though they live separately. Father should provide for their kids financially, so I believed co-parent because kids should not suffer just because of what the parents did.
📍 What joy can come from life with someone who boldly stopped choosing you long ago?
Staying with someone who has stopped choosing you is a burden. Releasing that burden brings a sense of freedom, allowing you to stop wasting your time, energy, and emotions on a, situation that no longer serves you. The joy is found in a peaceful independence wherein you realize that you are worthy of a love that is sure, not confused.
