To lose all feelings for someone overnight?

[Livelifejoyful]

Posting here for traffic mainly.

I've had a turbulent relantionship with my DH that has got progressively worse over the past year.

You know how they say, one day you will wake up and all your feelings will be gone. Well this week after he acted like an A hole and stormed out - its been 6 days since we spoke or saw eachother and not once in this time have I had any feelings at all towards the situation. Its like I hit my breaking point and I have no feelings left towards this marriage. Normally after rows I'll be very upset and anxious (he's very manipulative so loves a dose of the silent treatment) we own two properties so he will go to there and return once calmed down - but this time Ive just felt in my mind that I'm done with this for good now and aside from those thoughts I've had no other feelings at all. I've blocked him on all avenues of contact and I know he's been in touch with my mum and has tried to contact me. No doubt there will be a knock at the door in the next few days, which honestly I don't even want to answer.

I never thought you could wake up and lose all feeling but I guess you really can.

Stay safe

I wish I could offer more practical help.

I really feel for you in the situation you are in. If there's someone that you kind of know and you feel is a kind person, it might be worth reaching out to them. I know if someone that I didn't know well got in touch with me in your circumstances, I would do what I could to help.

Yes I may ask that family friend to bring someone to change the locks tomorrow. At least then I don't have to worry about him letting himself in when I'm out one day and me returning to him in the house.

You’re instincts are kicking in, and I think changing the locks would be a good idea.

Is there the equivalent of Women’s Aid type org. To get some initial help with how to approach things.

Get copies of all important documents, have your passport well hidden, credit cards and ID too.

And pack a bag perhaps, just in case you need to get out, with no notice.

Take very good care, you can do this, and things will be better.
