Yes, I would tell him. It would make a big difference if I confront him and tell him that I knew. Maybe if he doesn't know that I know, he will just leave me like that, thinking that I never cared. But if I tell him, he would begin to think that, yeah, I do care actually. And that would make him change his mind. Well, at least I have to try something to stop him.

I would certainly try to stop my wife, and would need to know why. After 38 years in which she seemed very happy to be married to me, I would be shocked. I can't imagine what it is like for those who have that happen. I would think there would have been some clues along the way.

After 38 wonderful years, I am sure your wife is not going anywhere without you!

Once upon a time I think I would have tried everything to stop him and I guess it depends on how much you loved them but today as I have gotten a little older and wiser I have learnt you can't force anyone to not follow their own heart, a person has to be where they want to be to be happy.

I'd probably help them pack the night before. If they're going to leave, and especially act very childish about it, by leaving whenever I'm out, they obviously aren't worth my time. If they couldn't talk to me about them being unhappy or what not, then I'm not going to waste my time worrying about it. I'd tell them I knew, and start packing for them. Heck, I'd even give them a send off earlier than they had planned. I'm not going to stand around and let them think they're getting the upper hand. Nor will I let them use my house as room and board so to speak until they decide they're going to leave. They're gone as soon as I find out about it.

Isn't that the truth! If a person wants to leave, they should make up their mind quickly and do it. You shouldn't have to put up with someone who is going to use the threat of leaving as leverage. I think some guys do that. Get out the suitcase! I like that.

i guess if ever that would happen, i'll just ask him the main reason why he's gonna leave me. but i guess i won't stop him from leaving coz all i have left is my pride. besides, that is what he wanted so why stop a person from what he wanted to do right?

You can ask them to legally break the relationship by taking up a divorce. Through this process, you can also get the financial support for you and your children from your spouse. If they deny providing the proper support, you can seek the help of a divorce attorney. With their help, you can get the proper justice and divorce from your partner. They can also help you to manage the consequences of the divorce such as child custody, child support etc. While searching for a divorce attorneys, I found this law firm. They are exceptional in providing the legal support for the divorce cases.

i think it's better to let him/her know you know what his/her plans are.
what i'll suggest if i were the one, i'll tell her to continue her plans and try to do my best for her and also ask to know the reasons for those planned actions and if i'm at fault i simply apologies to her and ask for forgiveness and leave the rest to her own discretion.

I would make a last ditch attempt to save the relationship provided i have a feeling that my efforts stand even a 1% chance. If i do not have that much hope, I would feel it good that we break off, rather than make two lives miserable. Let him/her live happily wherever he/she choses to. I would also have my own options for future.
