Oh, and it is NOT normal for a child to bang her head on the floor. Get her to a doctor who knows what he is talking about!

I will tell him when he comes to mc with me.
I have brought her to specialists. There is nothing wrong with her... had numerous tests her brain is completely fine.

Confused, you have no idea what I would really like to tell you since Im going through this myself. I will tell you this, you need to lay it all out on the table. EVERYTHING! I agree with a lot of others, let him decide. He will probably consider you damaged goods and not worth any effort to continue. What you have done is unacceptable and selfish. When you wake up from your fog, you will look around and ask.. what did I do?

If you do D him, have fun with your new man, Im sure you wont have any trust issues with each other whatsoever..

Like I said, I dont want to get banned so Im holding my tongue.

She will reside with you IF the COURTS say she will. It's not up to YOU. If you choose to divorce your husband, the courts decide what is best for the child. Honestly, based on what you have posted, I would side with her father. And that does not include the info about you cheating. Your husband could very easily stipulate that he does not want any of your boyfriends coming around your daughter unless/until you are engaged at the very least. I've seen that happen many times.

Even if i dont leave my husband for my lover, should i walk away from the marriage, give everything up? please help. thak you."

NEVER leave a six figure salary behind. If you can find the right lawyer with connections to the judge handling your case, you can take it with you.

You say you're no longer in love with your H, so MC would probably be futile. This being the case, it might be in both your interests to divorce.

As for custody of your daughter, this is something for the Court to decide. These days, mothers don't automatically get custody of their children...

Interesting post but i know what i am entitled to. I know what he can and can not stipulate. I am not an unfit mother. In state if new york mother always gets the kid unless proven unfit. Im far from unfit. I take care of her extremely well. I earn a good living. Never did drugs and i dont drink. Her father borders alcoholic at times. Im npt looking to take her away. I wrk for the courts. I know the law.
