What if you loved your other half but in the end their behaviour towards you was untenable, but having divorced them you realised that you would always love them

What then?

I don’t in any way regret my decision to instigate my divorce, because things had become so toxic that I did not know what else to do. I am 100% certain about this.

But I also know that that is it as far as I am concerned - there won’t be anyone else, and more and more I miss the oh my ex was during the first half of our marriage, and the part of us that got on, that was family, parents to the same children.

Anger and hurt propelled me through the divorce, but now there is just sadness.

How do I live with this?

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.

We have edited your above post because we don't allow any mention of suicide methods on the Mumsnet boards.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.
