My marriage has just ended

[ImogenBrocklehurst]

That’s it really. My husband came home and said we needed to talk.

I knew it was coming as we’ve both been unhappy for a while. But I’m still so sad.

So sorry to hear that OP. I hope things get better soon for you 💐

I’m so sorry, that must have been hard to hear. 💐

It's never easy, I'm sorry you are going through this. I'm going through it myself, although I had absolutely no idea what STBEXH was up to. I thought things were a bit stale, but i put that down to being middle aged with young kids. If you want to share details please do, but not if you dont want to. Of course you are sad, even if you were expecting it

I'm so sorry to hear that

So sorry OP 😞 it's ok to be sad, have a good cry, maybe ring a close friend? I hope things improve for you soon. This is the hardest bit, there will be brighter days in your future. Look after yourself lovely and allow yourself to feel whatever you feel 💐

I’m so sorry. This bit is sad and scary. Do you have people IRL to support you? I hope so. Though people on here gave me so much when I needed it.

I promise it gets better, and I wish you happy times ahead.

Hi,

sorry that this is happening. I’ve been there.

Did you manage to sleep ? Have any breakfast ?

Sorry to hear this, I’m going through exactly the same, do you have children

Thank you all. Did not sleep well, and can’t face food. So sorry for everyone who’s going through it too.

I do have support from amazing friends, and have spoken to some of them today. Last night saying out loud seemed too final.

He and I can’t look at each other without crying. We still love each other, but there are parts of our personalities which differ so wildly that it’s just not possible for us to be happy together.

It’s tough right now, mine came home and told me he was moving out, then came back and told the kids and left immediately, I don’t know how to help them through it

How are you doing today @ImogenBrocklehurst

@Wishingforbetter2

I’m so sorry, that’s awful. We don’t have children - I can’t imagine how hard it must be dealing with your own heartbreak as well as theirs. I hope you have support IRL.

I’ve come to stay with friends for a few days to get me out of the house and give us some space. Not sure how I’m feeling: mostly confused.

Your situation sounds so much worse: I knew that things hadn’t been right for a while, and I’d tried to talk to him about it, so it was horrible but not a surprise. It must be awful when children are involved.

@ImogenBrocklehurst Thank you I just feel so sad for them as it was a huge shock for them

Are they still seeing your ex?
Make sure you take time for you as well as supporting them.

Its only been 3 days so they’ve been at school but he has seen them briefly

Oh, lovely you must be devastated. I’m so sorry. Do you have support close by? It’s been so cathartic for me to talk to people who have just let me cry.
