Well it is 5 months since my life was completely shattered. I know the divorce and separation rate is high - but never having experienced it before I can't believe how many people out there are living through hell. How do people cope. It is so hard keeping myself together for my children that sometimes I just feel like giving up. I have never had to deal with the home finances, insurance, keeping cars on the road - I never even took out the rubbish! Now I have to do everything - and keep strong for my family. I don't understand how the man I spent more than half of my life with could just leave without even trying to keep our marriage alive. How could I have been so blind and stupid to give myself to a man who could do that. I was looking forward to the time when the kids would be off our hands and we could enjoy life as a couple - now I have to face the future on my own. I never realised the world could be such a lonely place.

Welcome to the site and sorry to meet you like this, my experience is similar to yours, I was also married for 22 year. My stbx (soon to be ex) left me last April. She decided that I would be better of with out her and that she was doing me a favour. I can't say it has been easy but it does get better, I have never lived alone and I have to say I don't really like it. Our nest was empty and I thought like you that we were going to have time to ourselves, time that we never had before. Lots more to the story. Once again I wish you had not been given the motivation to find this site but I think you will find that it can be very helpful.

Thank you. It is so hard to find people to talk to. Most of the time when friends ask how I am I just say OK as I know they don't really understand what I am going through. It is so nice to find somewhere people really understand.
