Long distant relationship?

I'm in a long distant relationship and it's not by choice. My husband is currently serving time in prison for drug procession.This is his 7th time in prison. We been toghther for 15 years and have 3 kids toghether. He say he will change but every time it's the same thing. My question is, do I stay in this relationship and give it another try? I'm i stupid for staying this long? I already started talking to someone else, but how do i let go of my marriage?

    You really need to move on with your life without him. You have given him "seven" times in prision and still he has not changed. I don't think this life style is good for you and especially is not good for you children. I don't want to say your stupid, your just confused. File for divorce while he is in prison this time, so you can move on with your life an be happy. He's just not going to change and you deserve so much better than a life of crime from him. Bless you.

    Girrrrrrl!!!! SEVEN times!?!? That is no kind of relationship, much less a marriage. His actions and lack of responsibility are evidence enough that he does not have the best interest of his children or you in mind. For the sake of your kids, move on with your life. File for divorce and consider it as "abandonment". Yes, change is scary and things will be momentarily turbulent. But in the long run, you and your family will be better for it. Stop doubting yourself, you are on the right track. Leave him.

    Seven times is rather a lot. It seems to be like that he's not going to change but doesn't wanna lose you. I would tell him that you are very serious, that the next time it happens you really are going to divorce him. Thats not good for you or your kids. Maybe you should move on now.

    It is time to move on. You know it deep down. It will be for the best. There are nice men out there that will treat you like you deserve to be treated. What kind of example are you setting for your kids? My advice though..don't leave just because you are seeing someone else. Leave for the right reason: your long-term mental health and happiness.

    You didn't let go of your marriage. Your husband did 7 prison terms ago. I'll admit you are definately a slow learner, but, I think, it's time to move on.

    Time to move on, for you and your kids' sake. You're not stupid for staying in a relationship with a man you love and have children with, but it's time to think about what's best for you.

    Wow you are a patient person for still giving him chance after chance. Don't tell him you're talking to someone yet. You need to tell him that you're sick of giving him chance after chances. Work on the divorce first before getting hook up with someone.

    you are so much better then that if you are already talking to this person then try and see how far it might go. let your husband go. tell him its always the same stroy and cant keep going emotionally with it.

    Good luck
