Getting over your husband leaving you for another woman

My stbxh left me 3 months ago for a younger woman. She has no children. He has admitted he has basically moved in there though he doesn't take the children there.

It has left me devastated. He wasn't the greatest husband - lazy and immature- but I loved our family unit. I'm having some counselling but the more details that come out about how infatuated he is by her and how fun she is, the worse I feel. I'm not an old 44 year old. I'm pretty fun when I'm not being destroyed by my ex, but my self esteem is taking an absolute kicking and the humiliation is killing me. Any tips or ways to get through this hell without being completely broken???

Just to add, I have very little time for me as children won't stay overnight with him

Thank you everyone for your encouragement. It's good to know others have come through similar and feel positive about their lives. Gives me hope

From what you said,he sounds like a complete bastard, listen, You're still a gorgeous young woman, forget him ,get the girl pals together and throw on your sexiest dress and heels go have a good time and bag yourself a hot younger man , your husband clearly doesn't respect or love you, good luck.
