I have been with her for one year now and all this time we’ve been doing everything.

Marriage doesn’t work like that. It’s hard enough on you that he is 10years younger, and the thoughts racing through your head, but he made that commitment, and should have stuck by it! You don’t need that aggravation. Have a long, sincere talk with him. Tell him to put up or shut up. In other words, you want a spouse, not a drifter. As far as him “growing up”, remember that there is a big difference between chronological, mental, and just being a mature adult. How much longer do YOU want to go through this? As the saying goes, “SH*T, or get off the pot!

Even IF you are in love with him, it matters not. The price you have to pay to be with him is too steep. And it’s breaking your children’s hearts to have this person drift in and out of their lives. How long must they keep suffering the loss? Basically you are two diametrically opposed forces and as such, you cannot peacefully coexist in the same place. Be the fabulous woman you know you are and move on.

Throw the d-bag out and don’t look back. 21 year old guys are a notoriously flaky, douchey lot–I know, because I was the prince of them all. He needs to be bonging beers and chasing skirts, not married to an attractive, mature woman like you. Move on, sister.

Time to move on. Find your inner strength. Moving on will not be easy but neither was your relationship.

Hmmm, great quote but I’ll have to check that out.

I do agree with your advice to C — when is enough enough? When she feels that it is. A note about her kids — it’s helpful for kids to have some stability. If they are his kids, also, I hope he can stay involved in their lives more consistently instead of off and on / back and forth. Wishing them all well.

There is nothing to add, because I think she knows the answer already.
