My dh has left me, deciding that marriage, house and family wasn't for him. He is currently travelling around South America with money his father has given him. Together 9 years, married for 4, we had started ttc. I am 35.
All of this was three months ago. I have few but very supportive friends, am financially independent, work in a job I love with lovely colleagues who give me lots of support. I am keeping busy as much as I can, meet friends, have started learning a new hobby. Legal stuff is being sorted. There are phases where I am happy, but the 'why' is still my first thought in the moment every day. I am tearing up at the smallest things, songs on the radio etc. I see colleagues in happy second marriages or with new partners after divorce, but I don't seem to be able to imagine this for myself.
Am I putting too much pressure on me 'being ok' or should I have come to terms with it by now?
