After 28 years we sadly grew apart, we focused more on co parenting rather than finding the energy to keep our relationship growing together.

When I hit perimenopause, my self esteem hit rock bottom & I was able to see through both our flaws. We got to the stage where we were causing each other unnecessary stress. As our needs had changed over the years.

We were both carrying built up resentment & for me, I felt so lost, lonely, disrespected, unlovable & worse!

I felt I needed to breakaway as staying, was pushing me mentally over the edge!

I needed to rescue myself from the prospect of staying & fearing the resentment would turn to hatred & that was the last thing I wanted.

I love my husband & feel totally blessed with our family & I always will, but I still needed to be set free to keep the future peaceful & amicable for the long run!

When I realised that he doesn't love me.. Literally, what's the point? Life is too short to waste it on people who don't want to be with you. So I set him and myself free.. The best decision of my life..
