How do you know you have done the right thing?

Following on from my previous thred, DH has moved out.
The trust has gone from the relationship and it was clear he didn't respect me. He says he loves me etc but his actions say we opposite.
Writing it down here made me realise that this was the only thing to do.

So why do I feel absolutely and utterly heartbroken?

you want what might have been? the good times?

And actions speak louder than words. You deserve love, respect and honesty as a basic right.

He can say what he wants but that's just talk.

Where is your previous thread?

Him saying he loves you is not enough.

In some relationships, "I love you" is hardly ever spoken, yet actions show there is absolute love and respect.

The heartbreak won't last forever, I promise. Thanks

I can't link to it but its called ' not sure what is happening ' its in relationships.

Personally I think the advice you get on here has a very anti male bias.

DannyShouldHaveChosenRizzo · 05/07/2014 21:46

I know it's not enough.
I honestly didn't know I could feel this sad.
My eyes are puffy from constant crying.

MN can be anti male at times, but the OP says....

The trust has gone from the relationship

it was clear he didn't respect me

He says he loves me etc but his actions say we opposite.

No one is going to say, dry your eyes love, and take him back. So, NoEgowoman your post is pointless on this thread.

Sometimes moving on is the best thing to do for all involved, however painful it is in the short term. Being strong now, and being able to get through this will prevent more heartache in the future.

You're heartbroken because it is heartbreaking! Transitioning out of relationships SUCKS but is a necessary evil. If we didn't go through this pain and heartbreak we would be stuck in broken relationships forever. That's no way to live a life. Short term pain for long term gain. Hang in there....

You need time to mourn for the future you thought you would have with him. You have invested so much in building for that time, and now it won't ever happen. But - you will have a good future in a different way; you just don't see it yet. Be kind to yourself, do something nice for yourself each and every day, get exercise, watch what you eat a bit, and you will start to see light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you everyone

It just hurts so much at the moment, I never thought I'd be in this situation. And I never beleived that one could feel like their heart was actually going to break.
I realise I sound completely melodramatic!

You don't sound melodramatic.

You are going through a grieving process, and are mourning what could have been.
