Just explain to him that you to are going to live seperately because you can't get along. There's not a lot you can say. But if he's cheating on you, you should definetely leave.

Well if he is old enough to understand just sit him and down and tell him that Mom and Dad are in a bad place right now. Emohasize how much you both still love him but you and dad aren't getting along that great these days so you have decided to try to live in seperate houses. Make sure he knows that he will see both of you just as much, but that you and dad won't be there at the same time. Most importantly don't let him think it is his fault. don't tell him it's not his fault unless you think he feels that way or you will get him thinking about it. He is going to be upset you have to let him work through it. Let him be mad he needs to express it. Don't try to bribe him and don't try to fix it for him. Just be there for him and let him know you understand he feels bad and that it is ok to feel bad. With time things will work out. Best wishes and big hugs T.

im going to assume he is a young guy, i think the best thing is try to be as sensitive with the issue as possible and be certain not to blame him in anyway and reassure him he is not to blame because those are natural feelings for children. Just explain that mommy and daddy haven't been getting along to well and daddy or mommy is going to be living away but you can visit anytime and you will have your own room. don't argue infront of him and try to be as mature about it as possible. Children can be surprisingly mature and understanding if you calmly and rationally explain the situation. g/l it can be tough!

Well, don't say it the way you typed the question. That's a spelling and grammar nightmare!
Best to take the "it's not your fault and it doesn't mean we don't love you" approach.
