Hi,
I posted the other day about wanting to end my marriage. I am still unsure when and how but I really feel I want to confide in someone in real life but no idea who. My parents are RIP (they were divorced when I was 8) and I only have two older brothers. Both of them weren’t happy about me marrying him anyway back in 1996 so I know, if I breathe a word of my feelings to them, they’ll have me out of here pronto.
I don’t really have close friends out of work as a lot of my friends work with me if that makes sense. Not so keen on telling them as once the cat is out of the bag...
Anyway, my aunty is the only person I can think of. She is in her 80’s now but you’d think she was younger. Intelligent woman and she also married a man ten years older, had two boys with him, and ended up divorcing whe the boys were about 10 and 8. She remarried a businessman and they have been happily married since. She is probably the only person who will understand me and not judge, plus she’ll keep it confidential and probably give me help etc.
For anyone who has gone through with leaving, especially if you have kids, who did you confide in about your unhappiness?
