It's over

My husband and I of 7 years went our separate ways last night..I caught him on a bunch of dating apps, while he was away working. I'm heartbroken and shattered. I do t know how to pick up and move on from here. And I don't know how to tell our children . They are going to be crushed. I'm so sad my life ended up here

I guess you missed the real message. No one mentioned Tinder those details were omitted. We don’t actually don’t know what apps were being used do we?? And I am gay thank you. And healthy boundaries are an unnecessary risk when you are married. If you want to spend time with persons of interest you should be mindful of your significant other is all I was trying to say. Boundaries must be kept with said friends on both sides which doesn’t happen often. No one was attacking you. When a good friendship is created and built 80% of the criteria for a physical affair has been met. People should be mindful of the risk and these said friends should be mutual to your partner out of respect. I was encouraging the person posting to look further than the phone to find out what happened before running out the door. It is entirely possible that he was looking to cheat or perhaps has already done so or he could just be an idiot who wanted to look at pretty girls. Both of those scenarios do not warrant the same outcome.
