End of marriage is now known about in family circles

I ended things a few weeks back.
Husband has cheated twice and been actively deceitful, in the full knowledge it would end us.

But but but... The families know now and I feel really sad about the whole thing.

Can someone please reassure me that I've done the right thing.

I'm trying to remind myself of the positives:
Not being at risk of STIs
No vaper around the house
Person who never cleans their teeth gone.

It feels so real now.

Just adding to the list. Not having to carry that bag of shame, keeping his secrets under a false facade with your own family now that it’s all in the open. You can start being your authentic self and get support.

This is true. Thank you. It just feels so odd that the future we planned together won't happen.

Sounds like you’ve done yourself proud . He doesn’t deserve you!

Thank you. It's feeling ever so unsettling.

Hopefully the families know why as well? You shouldn't have to cover up his disgrace.

Yes, familys will be sad but when they find our re two deceits they will all understand and at times in-laws will remain friends with you

Shocking the amount of people in unhappy relationships for fear of what friends and family would think. If I was your friend, I'd be delighted that you had the courage to walk away from a bad situation, and if that isn't the reaction you get, then I wouldn't value those peoples' opinions too highly.

Best of luck with this new chapter of your life, we need more women like you!
