Beginning of the end

[longingformyoldlife]

I've just received my divorce petition from emotionally abusive husband. He's accused me of so many awful things when actually it was him that was a complete and utter shit to be in a relationship with. I have responded to say I don't defend the divorce but don't agree with the allegations and posted it back to the court...

...but this evening I feel so heavy hearted. We'd only been married 3 years. I am completely devastated and don't know how I'm going to get past this. I feel like he's ruined my whole life.

Anyone else in this situation?

Bump

Sorry to hear this. If you're not contesting the divorce there's no point arguing what's cited as it'll cause unnecessary delays.

You deserve better.

It's a horrible thing to go through but you will recover, I promise

Sounds like you could do with getting some professional help, maybe a few sessions with Relate or similar?

He’s not The One for you. You deserve better than that. It’s normal to feel sad that a relationship hasn’t worked out. But remind yourself why - his fault. And move on. Good luck in your new life. Where there’s and end there’s always a beginning....

U wont always feel like this i promise . Get counselling and ask for a counsellor ( pay if u have to, it will save you) who will work on putting you back on the map after an abusive marriage ; concentrate totally on you and how you want your life to be , your likes , who you are . Think now your are free :) he is, and will always be broken ; an abuser ! No longer your abuser :))))

Yes me.

My husbands reasons are massive exaggerations and lies. It just feels like he wants to destroy me.

I’ve done the same as you and not agreed to the reasons but have the divorce. I just want to be free of him.

I’m sorry you are going through this.
