I left my husband 3 years ago for valid reasons and I had been unhappy for a couple of years prior to leaving. But I still can't get over the guilt of leaving him. We have one child who we share 50 50 custody of.
I feel guilty because:
I'm pretty sure he hasn't dated anyone since we split, I know this through mutual friends.
I have dated quite a lot and even had a year long situationship since.
He always wanted 2 kids and now he only has one and I feel bad for taking the opportunity of having more kids away from him.
He wasn't abusive and was loyal and not a player or user ( like a lot of the men I have dated since)
I will say I felt utter relief when I left him which is very telling. There was no 3rd party involved.
I just fell out of love with him for several reasons. However I care deeply about him as we have a long history together.
Anyone else feel awful for leaving their husband and are struggling with the guilt?
