Hello, I don't know where to begin with this.
I have been married for 20 years. I have two children 8 and 11! Back in March I found a good friend who supported me emotionally to leave my husband and escape the controlling and emotionally abusive relationship.
I soon realised that I had feelings for this good friend (who I worked with) we soon started seeing each other. He finished with his girlfriend of 16 years and bought her out of the house.
Things were going great, we had a passionate loving relationship for 6 months. It was amazing. He met and got on really well with my children. He was round most days. It was romantic, passionate and wonderful.
Then one morning (while he was making us all a cooked breakfast) he got a phone call saying his dad was having a heart attack. He rushed to his dads side. He got to the hospital just in time to say goodbye.
His whole life fell apart that day.
He was heartbroken as his dad and him were very close and it was so sudden.
To make it all worse I had an operation booked for two weeks after his fathers death. I had a hysterectomy. He was planning on looking after me and being there for me. But he couldn't.
I had the operation with just my family to help me out. They helped with the children. But it was the emotional support I needed. He tried to be there but he wanted to be with his family.
Then the funeral happened. I was 2 weeks post operation, his ex girlfriend was going so I took a step back. But when I found out she was going to be in the head funeral car with him 'to support him and be there for him' I got very upset.
We have now separated as he needs time and space to sort his head out. I am devastated as my new wonderful life is ruined!
I am trying to still be there for him (being friends) but it is so hard.
I just don't know what to do!
Thank you for reading and please help!
