Feel a mixed of emotions

So my husband finally left Saturday after I told him to. Relationship hasn’t been the best for a while spend more time not talking than we did talking. He would wake up and decide not to talk to me randomly but then expect me to be normal when he wanted to talk again. Been a week I’ve been in a better routine with everything and less stressed. Ive had a mix of nice and horrible messages for last week but now hes stopped since yesterday. Today I feel a little bit sad it’s 8 years of my life. But I know I’m doing the right thing. I guess just posting to write it somewhere and see if anyone going through similar??

well done. I can see from your other threads this has been a long “battle”. Maybe a period of no-contact is also needed now so you can start to heal. Tell him anything child related can be by email. I would also start the divorce process online - easy and cheapish.

I am glad that he has finally left OP.

It's totally natural to feel some sadness at the end of your marriage. And you need time to adjust to the new life you now have. But everything you have said about your H in this and your other threads shows it is a good thing he has left. Not least because what you describe about him randomly giving you the silent treatment is abusive behaviour.

Stay strong OP.

I’m so happy that I found the courage to make the final steps. Feeling good now

Now that he has left, does this make a difference with your Council Tennancy? I.e can you get it on your own name now?
