 Seems like he isn't a keeper honey.
*hugs*
I'm so sorry, not only did he betray the fidelity of your relationship, he betrayed your trust, he betrayed your private innermost thoughts and feelings.
You may not believe this, but you DO deserve better. Let him go. Let her have that mess of a man. I'm willing to BET it won't be long before he will stray and seek greener pastures.
Focus on YOU and your kids. You need to regroup, re-focus and understand that life isn't over. The only thing that is over a relationship with a man not worth a pot to piss in.
Find a counselor, a rabbi, priest, pastor, and work though it.

 When you have been brought down to your knees and when nothing seems right for you ,call upon God or Jesus(Yeshua) and ask Him for help.
He is knocking on your door. Please let Him in to help you . What is impossible for man , is possible for God.
He will show you the way and the truth and will help to lighten your burdens and heal your pains.
My prayers and thoughts for you and may God's grace and healing powers be upon you.
Think of your children and be strong for them. In times like these, you are their pillar and you should not waver nor give up hope.
Have faith in God that He will bring you through. Focus on God.
You will rise again from the ashes.

Your in a very hard situation right now - and believe me i know EXACTLY how your feeling. There were days when I just wanted to go to sleep and never wake up again - and sometimes I still do feel that way as its still very fresh for me, but you have to be strong, dont let some selfish man take away your chance of living your life and your happiness. Times will be tough and you have a long road of recovery ahead, but you will make it through this - and if you decide to leave him then one day you will look back and think "I cant believe I almost settled for that" because an amazing guy will come into your life and treat you the way you deserve. I know its hard to imagine right now because the last thing on my mind is being with someone other then the man i love.. but they chose to show us that we didnt mean a great deal to them.. so why should we give ourselves to someone who doesnt appreciate us.. hang in there - you and your kids deserve a happy life, just focus on yourself for now.. be strong.. I crumbled too many times and let him back into my life because i believe his promises..truth is people dont change overnight - nor do they change in just a few wks/months. It takes years for ppl to change their cheating ways, and years because they need to prove its a long term change and not just until they got you back. Stay strong xo

Your very brave and mature contacting the woman directly. I did the same thing, I felt in order to get the truth I had to speak to her as my bf at the time wasnt telling all the truth. I guess ask her how long they had been seeing each other, ask her if he told her he loved her, ask her if she loves him. I know these things will be very hard to hear the answers of, but trust me you need to know. If she is still inlove with him and wants him, she will not make life easy for the two of you if you take him back. Dont expect her to be nice though - when I first contacted the mistress she was horrible to me, even though I was the innocent one. Bottom line, people dont like to share the ones they love, she doesnt wanna share him with you and you dont wanna share him with her - be also weary that she may make up lies to make you dump him so she can have him. You will be able to pick out the truth in what she tells you because you know your husband better then anyone else and know his personality. Accept what she tells you (if she responds) but soley its up to you... I didnt stay, he still contacts me for another chance, but I know my love is deserving on someone who will return it to the full extent that I give it. Stay strong - dont put him and his feelings first, your number 1 along with your children.

I sent the woman an email and said that we needed to talk asap and clarify things I left her my number to call me. I'm so scared of what she will tell me but I have to face it. And due to the fact that he refuses to answer there's obviously something lurking there. I need the truth for the sake of me and my kids. I don't wish tog ett into a tit for tat with this other girl what should I ask her and how should I do it I want her to see that I'm stromfg person and not weak. Thanx

Some women would choose to leave ,while some will choose to stay and fight.
To stay or to leave ?
No one can decide for you and you must weight the pro's and the con's.
Your b/f has committed a faux pas.
There are three options.
1) That he let go the other woman.
2) You share the man.
3) You let your b/f go.
You will have to make your choice. Think long and hard and decide after much deliberations.
Do not be hasty and wait until you are calm to decide the final decisions.

Talk to him. If you have any questions then sit him down and explain to him that you need answers.
You two have a LOT of unfinished business with the whole infidelity YOY TWO need to deal with that before moving on to the now and the future.
I would suggest you guys find a marriage counselor.
Trust is NOT easy to regain. It is for HIM to EARN that back. He needs to know that.
Honestly you have EVERY right to know everything. He needs to lay EVERYTHING out on the table. No one deserve to live in limbo like that.
I have to say if my husband had a child with someone else, I would leave. That would not be something I could ever forgive & forget. But that is my own personal opinion.
