DH leaving

[briggs1]

Can anyone please share any practical advice on how to cope with DH leaving from the emotional side of things. I am really not able to cope and feeling suicidal. Stuck in a foreign country with no friends/relatives and can't leave due to work. He's tried to leave before but I've kept asking him to stay and now I feel I need to let him go but I'm not coping. Says he's not happy and wasted many years with me and wants to live his life now. TIA

You don't NEED your DH. You're an independent being and can cope just fine!

And you shouldn't let your work stop you moving. If it's come to an end, then perhaps quit your job and move back to where your friends and family are. Literally pack a suitcase and go if you want to!

That sounds very hard to cope with alone in a foreign country. Could someone from home come out and stay a while? Could you get a leave of absence from work and go home for support?
In time you will find that it is better to travel alone than to be badly accompanied.

You coped before he came along and you can cope again.

I have no practical advice, but you will be okay

OP, I'm so sorry. I think most people in your position, with no support network, would feel similarly. Staying in a country where you feel isolated seems to be a bad idea. Is there no way you can go home? Do you have any friends or family back home who would be willing to put you up for a while until you got yourself sorted? Or would anyone be willing to fly out to you?
