Dear Juvi,

My ex-husband literally left me for a man.

We had a good, solid marriage, or so I thought—13 years and two great kids. When "Al" first bought his computer, he spent a lot of time with it. He wanted to check it out to see how it worked.

As time went by, he spent more and more time on the Internet, "downloading games and programs for the kids,” he said. I believed him. There was no reason not to.

When Al began to stay up to 3 and 4 a.m. on the Internet, I began to wonder what was going on, but I had no clue as to the seriousness of it. I came home from work one day, and Al was gone. There was a note on the table saying, "Have left to be with Larry, my on-line friend. I hope you will understand."

What should I tell my children about where their father went and why he is not a part of our lives anymore?

And should I get Gazelle's in the vintage style or the new shell-toe version?
