Just finished things with my partner.
Im so bloody sad about it.
Basically he has been separated 10years but not divorced.
We have recently talked about our future, living together etc
I've said I can't do this while he's married
He said he can't afford £600 to get divorced!!! After telling me all along he would
We clearly have no future.
How do I tell my little boy, he's only 6 he's going to be sad to
This is all my fault for being so bloody niaeve
Why am I such a bloody fool

How long had you been together?

PennyApril54 · 26/09/2024 23:55

You've had a horrible day. Try to get some rest and see what tomorrow brings. It sounds like this has just happened so let the dust settle and then start to plan a good future for you and your son. Take care of yourself.

Sounds like you’ve had a lucky escape.

I know exactly how you're feeling @Khrysteen. I'm going through similar right now.
Been married over 10 years, and it's been abusive the majority of the time we've been together. But it still feels scary now it's over.
BUT we will be fine, you and your son will be ok. You just need time.

@percypigss sorry ur going through this. 10 years of marriage is such a long time but ur right we are doing the right thing
