Tipping point for a divorce - new thread

[ClariceBeanTuesday]

Hi all

First thank you for all your lovely messages and advice. I am at work today and so tired, didn't sleep last night. But coping, just about. I have spoken to H, find it easier to phone him as things are less likely to escalate into a row, and the kids aren't there to overhear. I said it would be easier if we split but I want it to be amicable. It will be hard work though. I think he knows deep down we should be apart but he won't like it. And I suggested counselling - if only to help acheive an amicable split, but as usual that suggestion was met with scorn.

I have also re-read the weekend posts and got a bit paranoid that someone I know may be able to identify me (like his niece who has kids and posts on here) so I am going to ask mumsnet to delete the thread. I have saved your lovely supportive messages though, and will continue to post on here.

thanks again ladies xxxx

Perhaps consider counselling for yourself? (if he's going to be awkward get as many arrows in your quiver as possible - counselling may help you keep strong, detach and move forward)

There's a brilliant post from a poster called Olagaga - not sure if she put it on your thread - about what to do if separating, it has v helpful links, have a search for it.

Hope it all goes well for you x

There you are Clarice, how are things this week?
