Awful for you.

Have you any friends or family nearby who can give you support?

That sounds horrible OP.
What a selfish man he is.
Have you got RL support? Whether you have or not, keep posting here

Hi OP, I'm so sorry to hear this. It's such a horrible, horrible time for you.
Just over a year ago my husband of 21 years did the same. Told me he didn't love me and moved into a flat with the OW, 13 years my junior.
There's not a lot I can say, other than it will get better. Now a year has passed, I'm in a much happier place and rarely think of him.
I've just started divorce proceedings and feel positive about my future.
I just want you to be reassured that things won't always feel so bad. xx

It will get better. Do you have supportive family and friends?

Hi, I have been through a similar thing - and it hurts like hell. Get help in real life, talk to people, take all the help you can get. Go easy on yourself. It doesn't matter how messy the house is, or if you are not cooking, just get through the days. Look after your kids. They are worth it, he is not.

It is awful, I am sorry and nothing but time can help. One bit of good advice I had was focus on what you can control and not on what you can't. You can control how you act. My mantra was I wasn't going to be bitter, self-pitying or petty. I needed to be true to myself and look back that I behaved the best I could. Can't say I always achieved this but I did the best I could at the time. Honestly I do know how it feels and you have all my best wishes.

This is worse than a bereavement. So imagine if he had died..you would phone family and friends and everybody would want to help you. What a terrible shock. It will take tme but it will get easier. So make a start and phone someone to talk to.

It is hard, very hard and you just feel like your world is ending for a while. But it isn't, not really because there's another world, out there, waiting for you to notice it is there. And it can be, if you let it, a better world than the one that's just imploded around you.
You will come out of this stronger, calmer, smarter than you've ever been in your life. You will detach from your ex and begin to wonder what you ever saw in him. You will feel embarrassed at the amount of headspace he occupied as you carve out a better, more fulfilling life for yourself, on your terms, not on anyone else's.
You will become more discerning, more relaxed, happier with yourself and you will, in time, if you want to, meet someone else who will be worthy of you. Your ex isn't. You, however, are awesome. Never forget that.

wow, thank you so so much all of you that replied to me, it helps to know im not alone and not the only one that this has happened to. All i think about is him with this other woman I wander what she looks like and how they talk about me, his probably told her so many lies, he has lied to me so much, and even till this day he doesnt seem the slightest bit bothered about what he has put me through, He cant even understand why I cant be his friend, but i hate him for what his done to me.

He is not worth thinking about
Think about yourself
