Marriage ended. What next.

So as the title says my marriage of 6 years, together 11, has ended. We have 3 DC's and I'm early 30's and wondering what my life will become.

Please send me some positive stories to help me reach the other side of this very dark place I am in.

Sorry to hear your marriage has ended, it's hard. Mine isn't amicable and I'm not out of the other side yet but thought I would bump for you.

The only thing I'm telling myself is it's a moment in time, not that old to start again, things will get better eventually.

Thankfully the 2 older children slept through and have no idea what happened. I'm thankfully OK and the baby was in my arms the whole time but thankfully unhurt.

I'm so sorry, it's not right at all.

Did he hit you, while holding your baby?

You should try get support if you can, can you go anywhere like family? You could also call the police, especially if it happens again don't hesitate.

Also, not sure if you want to or not but if you make a post in the relationship board you'll likely get more responses as it's busier over there than here.

Have you reported the assault to the police? He should be removed from the family home as a danger.

Police were called and he has been released on bail. I almost feel a sense of relief as I would have gone back and forth forever probably just for the kids to have their family, although that was the final straw. There's no going back now and I almost feel relieved.

Amen to that! You've done the right thing.

PearlJamily · 23/09/2023 20:22

Sorry you're going through this. It'll be hard but it sounds like you'll be better without him in the long run and it will get better x

In the long run, it is so much better! I have never felt so free and relaxed as an adult. Sorry to hear things are rough right now, it does get much, much better.

I'm so sorry for what he's done to you, he's a weak coward of a man. Well done on calling the police and hope you are feeling okay.

How awful, at least you know splitting up from him is the right thing to do. I’m two months in to being in my own and time definitely heals and helps. Lean on your friends. Mine have helped me so much, them and my sister. Stay safe and strong xx
