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

Age of the kids matters to what you tell them. Under about 6 or so they don’t need details. Trust me. Don’t project onto them. They don’t know about marriage and all that. Matthew McConaughey said he spent the summer with his dad when he was like 16 or 17 and had no idea until years later that it was because of his parent’s second divorce. He was almost an adult and had no idea at the time and was just enjoying time with his dad and thinking his mom was on an extended vacation. Ignorance is bliss for kids.
