I miss my STBXH so much 😓

It’s been 10months now that we’re separated. The divorce is half way through and he’s been living with his new partner since a month after he moved out. He did genuinely meet her after we separated, but he must have checked out a while before if he could move on that fast?

I thought I was making progress, and healing. I have been dating a bit and I suppose part of the reason I feel this way is because I recently called it quits with someone I was seeing.

I just felt all the while that I would still choose my STBX in a heartbeat, and would do anything to have him back. We have a DD6, and she’s with him this weekend, and I really want to be there with them!

I am filled with regret for all the things I did and didn’t do, and I know I’m partly to blame for our separation. It’s so true that you don’t really know what you have until it’s gone.

Background: I was constantly dithering about whether we should separate or not as he had some narcissistic traits and I brought up divorce. The next day my friend saw him on Tinder (he says he didn’t actually meet anyone & had just joined because i brought up divorce) so I asked him to leave, and he met his new partner a week later.

I have a total block as to all the reasons we didn’t work and just miss him soooo much. 😢 Can’t believe it’s 10months and I still feel this way.

I'd probably check out if my DH mentioned divorce tbh. The fact that he mention it would tell me he's clearly not happy and I don't believe in begging or persuading.

Had you said you're not happy and would like to try and work on things that would be different.

That said his history isn't great. He left his Ex for another woman and I wouldn't have got with him knowing that. That would have been a red flag for me.

Sounds like he was waiting for you to say the word and off he went.

Hi lovely. Get a pen and paper and start writing a list of incidents and all the reasons you can think of why you decided to split. Keep adding to it as you start remembering stuff and every time you either, read the list. It really helps
