With health being the priority, as it goes without saying.

I’m struggling at the moment, in therapy which hasn’t helped but feels like at least I’m doing something.

I got married very young and stayed married for 22 years. Largely it was ok, but there was never a huge spark and the pressures of life and having 2 children with pretty demanding SEN just killed it. I miss the idea of company and companionship but the reality was I made all the decisions, earned all the money, sorted everything out for the children and he did very little apart from kick about.

when the marriage ended I massively fell for someone else, it was perfect.

It ended for a range of reasons, long distance particularly and a wide range of things which don’t matter here. He’s said he will eventually settle in my part of the country and hopes and prays I’ll still be single. 😢

I loved this man so much but it is definitely over, we were together for 3 years.

I feel so dejected about life and the prospect of a future is so lonely. My kids are still quite young so can devote myself to them but what then?

Does the sadness of a post marriage breakup ever leave?

I'm not sure I’ll ever get over this man.
