I am about 7 months in from my husband leaving me (10 year relationship). Things had been rocky for a bit but nothing unsurmountable. In the end he had an emotional affair which I discovered. He blames me for it. I am still struggling to let go. I am a lot further than I was 5 months ago but nowhere near where I feel I should be. I walk around with constant nervousness in my stomach and find it hard to not analyse in my head, play through scenarios etc. I only have few friends and no family in this country. I can't avoid him as we still live close to each other and share certain interests that bring us together every now and again. It doesn't help that when he sees me, he is very friendly, tries to hug me etc. I try to stay away from him.
I really feel talking therapy could help me to give me that space to explore and hopefully get over things. Has anymore done it? What can I expect? I never had counselling before.
