Hi Regrets, I am truly sorry... I was in more or less exactly this position a year ago where my loving husband announced he no longer loved me and left - all within 5 minutes, and I honestly understand just how devastating it is. You feel like your world is torn apart and that you can no longer trust your judgement. Hang in there Regrets, and don't blame yourself. My husband was only a year older than yours and it was / is most definately a MLC. There are so many men going through this earlier in their lives these days... and often brought on by some other life changing thing - a friend or family death / or maybe the emigration thing, they suddenly equate it to being unhappy with everything in their life. I honestly can say that my DB coach pulled me through, along with my faith, and it DOES and WILL get better, whatever the outcome. Dont forget about you in all of this, the chances are you are not to blame and its something he has to go through. Keep hold of your friends, let them help you through it, but not take sides... it doesnt help matters. Dont worry about your confusion, its temporary, and you will start thinking more clearly given a little more time. Look after yourself, try and stay happy - at least around him, let him see what he will be missing out on if he leaves. Stay strong, you will get through this!!! I wish you luck and some peace
