Just told DP its over... hand holding please

[TitsalinaBumSquash]

Its not been working for a while. Nothing in common, different views, ambitions, life goals.
He has not taken it well, launced into 'attack mode' (not physical dont worry) he has gone out now, god knows where.
I think he knows as well as I do that it can't work.
Its hard 7 years we have been together but I honestly believe we can be happyier and parent together better apart.

I was in this position in Sepember and have swung from relief to sadness ever since but ultimately we both knew (he took longer to come round) it was over. We are very friendly and he asks advice about other girls etc and I started seeing someone else 2 months after ex DH moved out- I never ever thought any of this would happen, never bit time ticks on and he will get his head around it, its probably been shoved in the sand! You've been brave see it through to the outcome you want- i don't envy you though i feel sick thinking about how i felt at the time

big hugs your way. This too shall pass.
Someday you'll look back and feel all this to be so far away.

Quick update.

It was going ok, P was being friendly, sensible and discussing living arrangements and what needed doing ect.
Yesterday he came in from work in a horrid mood though, muh talk of how the world hated him, how I was ruining his life, forcing him out the family... I tried explaining everything, that it wasn't like that. He begged and tried to 'compromise' saying he was happy to saty in the relationship knowing he would have to live with a lot of things that wernt ideal.
I stayed strong and continued to say that it had to finish, I genuinly believe it's for the best for everyone. Its tough though.
I expected this from him, mood swings and various 'techniques' to make me change my mind.
It would be easier if he wasn't living here but as rental places are so damn high the only option he has is a flat/house share and he isn't at all keen on that idea.

stay strong and focus on what you want, tits
