My H walked out in Aug of 08. I new he'd been unhappy (Super hostile ALL THE TIME, came home later and later, etc). He denied involvement with someone else. I asked him to come back the next day and he did. Then his Dad died. Then I found out about the OW. Without the OW, I'd swear we were married to the same man! He left for good to live w/ her Dec 28th 09, after lots of nonsense on both our parts...no real work on our problems (which were all my fault of course, ya know, the house, the kids, extended family, finances). I do not have any words of wisdom or hope for you, but know I can commisserate with you. After 2 weeks of "OMG What-am-i-gonna-do", I am finding bits of peace here and there----esp since I started S13 on Concerta and Zoloft for his anxiety & depression which was exhibiting as anger, disruptive and aggression.
Oh and BTW I have had no contact w/ h since he left. A lot of peace is coming through my removal from his chaos.
Fake it till ya make it
