Hi me and my wife met when she was 14 me 16 we have been together just under 25 years she doesn't feel the same any more we have 2 beautiful children I have moved out and starting over. I am not ready to move on but I know she will. Is there any advice how to handle the woman you love moving on and being happy without you?

Didn't want to read and run OP.

It will be hard at first but time is a great healer. It's important to spend sometime concentrating on your happiness and what that looks like in your new chapter of life.

Throw yourself into a hobby you have always fancied doing if your able to

I felt the same about my DH for a while. We drifted apart and he eventually left, but clearly wanted to make our relationship work. Meanwhile, I met someone else and was initially happy. It took me two years to realise the grass wasn't greener on the other side and ask DH if he would take me back. However, he'd met an OW and wanted to give that relationship a chance. Only then did I really grieve my lost marriage. Don't move on too soon, just give her space and time to adjust but be there for her. She may well gravitate back to you all on her own.
