Tips on letting go

[Lis667]

Iv been with my husband since I was 17. I’m 32, we’ve been married 5 years. He’s the only man Iv ever been with. Our relationship is definitely done and has run its course. We have a daughter who is nearly 2. I know this needs to end but it’s so god damn hard to do so even though I know it’s what I want. Any tips on moving forward and making it easier? I really need to do this, I feel like I need a good hard shove. :(

Grit your teeth and face it head on.

Be prepared for extremely hard days with self-doubt, but have faith in yourself and hold onto the fact that it is the best thing to do.

That the sun will definitely shine again. It just takes a lot of time and distance, and you can't speed up time.

I know it's always so much harder when DC are involved, but he/she is at a very good age and should adapt more easily than an older child.

Be strong and good luck.

All I’d say is - if you’re sure, then the sooner, the better. Whenever you do it- there will be times it will hurt like hell, you’ll feel guilty, lonely. But you and DD young enough to restart, so hang on to your friends, do it now - or wait until it corrodes you and grinds you down more, and regret you didn’t do it earlier.
