Can love ever return?

Regular poster on other threads but have NC for this. I am devastated, crucified, completely broken. My DH says he no longer loves me and wants a divorce. We have been together 20 years, married for 18 and have 4 DC. We have had a very difficult last five years, financially and with our eldest DC who has severe MH issues.

DH had an affair some years ago which was agonising but we have both worked hard to overcome this and he seemed genuinely remorseful. I know for sure that the OW is not back on the scene and he is adamant there is no one else now but he no longer loves or even likes me. He is very cold when he says these things. This has come to a head recently but he says he has felt this way for years. We have recently moved with his work but he wants to return to where he was brought up, without me, as he has family there still.

I love him with all my heart and am in physical pain with the trauma of it all. I know there are many here who post about how happy they are that they have decided to leave their marriages but is there anyone reading this who has fallen back in love with their partner, or whose DH has told them that they no longer love them and want a divorce, only for the position to change? I suspect I will be told I am clutching at straws but I am desperate for some light at the end of this nightmarish dark tunnel and to have some hope that he will love me again.

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

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.
