DH and I have been having problems for years, last year has been particularly bad, he’s completely withdrawn, said he’s not in love, not attracted to me anymore. I finally accepted the marriage was over but now I’m panicking. I don’t want to be alone, I don’t want to lose my family (we have three kids and I am very close to his family, I have very little family of my own). I am seriously not sure how I am going to get through this. For now we are living together (separate bedrooms) and haven’t told the kids.
Has anyone been there? Is it normal to feel like this? I have been much stronger and more positive in the past but now it’s real I feel like I can’t cope. I am considering begging him to try again, but I feel like this would be a new low.
