We are separating after 30 years of marriage. Now in the limbo stage of still living in the same house, whilst the sale goes though and two new properties finalised.
It was about 5 months ago that we finally agreed to separate and put the house on the market.
This was after several difficult years and the last few have been especially tough.
I have been talking to a guy online for quite a while now and we are planning on meeting up in a few weeks.
My husband was due to move into his new place in September, but it has been put back with no confirmed date at the moment.
He he has found out that I'm talking to someone and is upset about it.
He reminded me that he would still stay together and try and fix things. He says it is more me who wants this separation. And yes, I probably do want to separate more than he does, but he has at times been very adamant that this is what he wants to do!
I did think he would have moved out by now and I somehow would feel better about meeting this new man if that were the case.
I took my wedding ring off several years ago and in my mind we separated then.
Living in the same house has been awful and I can't wait to get my own place.
He has been asking me if I'm going to meet this new guy.
I refused to answer.
I feel so upset amd conflicted.
Just tell me, do I need to tell him or get his permission?
Especially as we are probably still going to be living in the same house.
We decided not to get a divorce but I think maybe that will have to happen at some point in the future.
I have posted many times on here over the last few years about how unhappy I was and how he mistreats me.
I want to be completely free.
