I’ve been with my DP for about 3 years & we’ve lived together for 18 months.
I have older DCs 21 & 18.
I met DP when my Ex & I we’re separated. My DC took the separation very hard.
I should have tried harder to reconcile with my Ex & he did try very hard.
I was definitely ‘blinded ‘ by new flattery - that I admit.
Anyway fast forward & DP & I are living in a completely new town & starting again.
I know I made my bed but I loathe waking up every single day.
I make excuses to stay out beyond work hours because I dread going home. We are so isolated.
Both my DCs refuse to ever see DP - they quite rightly think if it wasn’t for him we’d still be a family.
I know people say time heals but I know this will never be healed. I look at a future of never having any occasions together- ever.
I feel like an outsider on their lives looking in & it feels like it’s destroying me
