We broke up today

DH and I broke up today. We had previously agreed to divorce after 16 years together but last weekend I had a wobble over it and we had a week of falling in love again. He spoke to a couple of friends/family for their opinions and was talking a lot about how it could work out between us. Even this morning he was of that frame of mind. Then he spoke to a divorced friend this morning, who said to him that this kind of wobble is normal and it happened to him and his divorced friends and it didn’t mean anything. So DH came off the phone, thought about things and said he thinks we should still divorce.

He’s taken the children to his relative’s house for the afternoon and evening. I was supposed to be going too but he said not to come.

Do now I’m home on my own, feeling sad, missing my children. How should I spend these 5 hours until they come back?

Thanks 😊

Deep breaths, OP. Think about your own needs - your post talks only about his thoughts (based on other people's advice! Where is his strength of mind?)
I would concentrate on staying calm and logical and work out a broad plan of what will be best for you and your children. Build your own support network, including a good lawyer. Wishing you all the best.
