I've done it - it's over, at last. I've just told h i want us to be divorced and he didn't object.

Don't know how i feel. hope to feel better than this, just feel ovrwhelmingly sad :(

Well done, it's undoubtedly the right thing to do. You will be so much happer in time.

Yay! First step taken. Many more steps before the objective is achieved, but that's how every journey starts innit.

I imagine you feel sad because it would have been nice if he'd actually shown any interest in keeping you Sad

You've been unhappy for a long time - you're going to feel so free, I'm excited for you. Just need to get the shit bit out of the way, look to the future!

MN is very supportive at times like this - keep posting and people here will look after you.

Congrats - bet it feels like a huge weight off your shoulders. I am a few weeks ahead of you, and living together is really strange and I won't lie, it is an emotional roller coaster.
Good luck, but sounds like you made the right choice for you.

AnyFucker · 28/02/2012 23:05

Well done, love.

You have done the right thing.

And, no, showing interest in keeping can be worse. It's much better that he accepts it.
