I've been with the same person for 10+ years but it hasn't be working. I am a very loyal person and despite being unhappy for years, I've stuck by my husband and kept working at things.
He's hurt me massively, lying, cheating and treating me like his life and happiness is worth more than mine. I know I deserve better.
My question is... how do you get over someone who has been such a huge part of your life for so long? He has been a crap husband but he's always been there in a way. I'm so scared about letting go of someone I've loved so much and not having them in my life anymore.
As pathetic as it sounds, I still love this guy. The feelings are strong and before he has won me over because I couldn't ignore my feelings. However I know, if I keep letting him he will continue to treat me badly.
I need some way of breaking the cycle and showing that he doesn't have a hold over me... yet continue to live and sleep next to him whilst we arrange the sale of our home.
