How to break free from an abusive, philandering husband?
My husband has been philandering all these years. I’ve caught him having flings and real relationships, but there seems to be no remorse in him.

I’m a 55-year-old woman—married in the past 30 years, still employed and a grandmother. My problem is my husband. While we were just getting to know each other, he had a relationship with someone else. My parents were against him in the beginning because he has been a diabetic since he was three and feared I would only be taking care of him all my life.
I am a 54-year-old working wife with two daughters, ages 21 and 14. My husband is an engineer who travels during the week but never on weekends. Lately, however, his work has included weekends; he says the other parties involved are only available then.
I have been married almost 30 years. Like in most marriages, my husband and I have weathered a lot of storms. I like to think that this made our bond strong. My problem with my husband started about five years ago after I saw in his cell phone several inappropriate text exchanges. He does not see anything wrong with having these women as his “text buddies,” since infidelity does not apply here.
I have been married for 25 years and this year I discovered that my husband had an affair with a married woman his age. I didn’t realize this would happen to us, and the emotional pain would be more painful than any physical pain.
I trusted my husband so much that I never suspected he would cheat on me. In 2005, he confessed to having two children by another woman. I was devastated, but in wanting to preserve our marriage, I agreed to let him visit the family twice a month on weekends, but not to stay overnight. I even sent groceries and gifts for the children.
I’ve been married two years, but my husband and I are living separately due to our work. He is in Manila while I am in the Visayas. We’ve actually had this arrangement for three years, even before we got married. We were okay with this setup until last year.
