I want to leave my husband for a man I haven’t actually even met

DEAR DEIDRE: I WANT to leave my husband for a man I haven’t actually even met.

I’m 54 and my husband is 55, we’ve been together for over 30 years and share three beautiful children.

My husband and I split up over five years ago but have continued to co-habit for the sake of our children as they all have learning disabilities.

We wanted to give our children a stable life instead and we get on well.

We do occasionally have sex but only to satisfy our needs.
