Hi everyone! 🙂
Been lurking here for quite some time now, and I must say it has already helped me a lot, just reading through other people's experiences, without posting anything myself. However, I have a need to let it off my chest, as I have been feeling pretty low the last few days.
The story is a classic, I'm afraid. Husband and I separated 3 months ago. I must say that I'm already coping well, but it was his birthday yesterday and it threw me off track for some reason. We've been married for 7 years, we've had a really bad year, fighting a lot and threatening each other with divorce, till finally he said he really couldn't take it anymore. I told him to move, though in all honesty I hoped he wouldn't, but he had no fight left in him.
We then haven't seen each other for almost two months, because I went home with our daughter (she just turned 6) for summer, when I was off work, and we hardly talked, except regarding our child. First thing we did when we saw each other was have a huge fight with him storming away. He found a place nearby, but is here every day to take care of our daughter when I work, if he is free. He took none of his stuff, doesn't mention divorce, but the situation is unbearable to me.
If I'm being honest with myself, I'd still like to make it work. I know it's best that we are not together now, we really needed time off, but I somehow feel that, despite everything, we are good for each other, though, admitedly, we have a lot to work on.
He was at first adamant that we can't possibly work it out, but he kind of changed. He texts me more often, calls me to acompany our daughter and him when they go out, cleans the place, stuff like that.
But I don't want to say or try anything, because you never know what to expect from him, and I want to give it more time.
I have a feeling my story isn't very cohesive, and I don't myself know what's the point of my post, other than just taking it off my chest. So, just thanks for reading and feel free to ask anything I might have skipped. 🙂
