Getting divorced soon. Been married 9 years. Kids are 7 and 4. I don't want to be single but can't stand the thought of another man living with my kids. I also hate the financial strain of running a house on my own. I know I'll get child maintenance and maybe some UC but it's still shit. I could just coast with husband even though there's no intimacy but he can't. I'm struggling to accept it.
Any support appreciated.
I go through phases of feeling positive about it but right now I'm in a phase of feeling really shit about it. I feel so sorry for my children that they won't have both parents under the same roof. That really hurts to think about.
