My wife had an affair

First I found a text message, I confronted her, she had to admit she was having an affair, the reason she gave me were: that she believed I was having an affair,(I have never crossed that line) We were too tight on money,etc, etc and she started to cry when said that she felt I was treating her like a zero- for something I said on a fight we had. I started to pack my clothes when I saw she was really in pain so, I stoped.And my -Natrural rection to leave her, snapped--...We had a talk and decided to give it a try,... I wasnt all...Two day later she told me she had something else to tell me, and that if I would accept it she would do anything for me, Then she went on to tell me that  She was pregnant and  he's the father.I dont know what is wrong with me, but I forgive her, but this is been too painful, It hurt specially because we have two kids, and I love them more than anything in my life, I dont want to leave them without their mother but now I dont know if I doing the right thing.I gues Im terrified of leaving because  I myself grew up with divorced parent And I swore in my heart that I would never do that to my kids.

I agree with Paula- if you can forgive her and really get past this - and that is what you want to do then give it a shot! Go to counseling- find out what happened to come between you and she.
If you can't forgive her 100% then there is no use. Trust is hard to rebuild but not impossible. But you have to be willing to forgive her and try to trust again- or it will not work.
But don't just stay with her for the kids- Stay with her because you love her and want to save your marriage.
Hang in there- it sure would be nice to hear that your marriage has been restored and is better than it ever was!

this is such a difficult situation.  i think the first thing you both need to do is seek counseling and find out why the affair happened, if it's still going on, if she's stopping the affair simply because she's pregnant, how you feel about all of this and what you both want going forward.

this is huge burden for you and your children.

i am so sorry.  what do you really want to happen here?
