This is about day 9 from the time he left. He did it in such a cruel way (no word for 2 days) and will give me very little information, so I …

About Me
I am 47 years old, married 21 (20?)I have an 18 year old daughter and a son who would be 8 years old if he would have lived past 18 months of life. I'm sure that son's death is still causing depression for both my husband and I, and is a major contribution to the death of the marriage as well, although I didn't think it was bad enough for him to just leave (4th of July 2008 "Freedom")for another woman (didn't even call for two days!) How cruel! I really have issues now! The good news is no child support issues and I earn a good salary and will have no problem starting over!
Interests
career in commercial real estate, shopping (at least I admit it) reading novels, crossword puzzles and television (I admit this too!). I really enjoy live music, concerts and shows (I live in Las Vegas)

Hug
Hoping that you have some peace this week. As the teacher always told me - keep your eyes on your own paper. Please don't take this as a slight but I have learned that when I am worried or what others are doing are more important that what I am doing - I nudge myself and say 'eyes on your own paper'. It helps me stay focused on me and my feelings and thoughts and self. Your self is worth fighting for.
Hug
I grieved my divorce (Dec 1997) but am unable to relate with the loss of a child. (((((HUGS))))) Be strong and know that we are here for you.

I am sorry about your losses and I think that anger is part of the process. I say go ahead and punch the your pillow til it bleeds when you are angry. I don't know your whole story but try to hold on to the fact that even though this feels like a complete rejection of you his leaving says alot about him and where he is. You may have triggered something in him that he cannot face. I don't know if any of that fits or helps. In all of my relationships, I have been the one "rejected" for someone else. It plays on your self esteem and beliefs and mucks things up. I am not sure that I can forgive any of them but what I realize now is that person was not good for me. They were just a "drug" that helped me get thru my unhappiness. I went thru major withdrawl and hell to be able to walk away from my last one and I will never forget the moment that I said enough is enough - I had already moved out but I was trying to keep whatever friendship that was left alive and realized that this person didn't want the same thing and it just wasn't worth the misery. Can't say that it was easy peasy after that but I will always remember that day because I was able to take care of myself and really mean it. I am here if you want to rave, rant, swear, etc. please message me anytime you need. I will respond as fast as I can. Many hugs and flowers to you right now. Hope your week gives you some respite from your pain.

Close Infidelity
We have been married for 21 years and my HUSBAND just left without a word for two days, was then surprised that I was LIVID with him. He has not been home since (less than two weeks. We have a lot of history, including losing a child 6 years ago which is what ruined our marriage, I'm convinced! I have evidence that there is another woman but it's "none of my business" and he tells our 18 year old that it just "ended". There are many more issues here and not enough room to talk about it all.
