Dear Steve and Shirley,

My wife had a side dude, and I’m trying to figure out my next move. She admitted to having s*x more than a few times with the guy that she works with. She said it was over and she wanted to come clean.

I told her she could keep seeing him because I was done with her. I started sleeping on the sofa in our bedroom, and I let her have the bed.

Then she started staying out all night, and she said she might as well do whatever she wants to do since I didn’t want her anymore.

For weeks, she begged to have s*x with me, but I just couldn’t do it. I still can’t.

She used to yell and scream at me late at night, so our twins quickly caught on to what was going on. She figured since they’re 18 and grown in her eyes, that they should know what was going on.

They sided with me, and now they won’t speak to their mom. They want her to move out, but I cannot put her out because it would make me look bad.

I have a respectable job, and the rumors would be bad for me in my professional and personal life. My best friend said that I should forget what people think and move on with my life, but it’s not that simple.

My wife and I have spent all of our savings on the children, and they both got new cars for graduation. I cannot afford to start over. I’m 54 and broke.

The twins will be moving out eventually, so I’m holding out until I can move into 1 of their rooms when they leave. The tension is heavy in the house.

So if you were me, would you move out and start over from the bottom or stay in the house?
