My Husband Just Left Me

[BeingMe]

I think you did well, and even the bawling was a good thing --- the release of tension. I agree, your WH was using you, but now there is no need for pretend anymore. People in your life can know now, if they enquire about you and your life ... perhaps just a "we're separated at the moment", or some other simple statement like that, then turn convo to the other person.

You have the one of two excellent reasons for actually leaving a M, IMHO ... addiction. The other is abuse. One can deal with MLC, affairs, and other stupidity in a M, but those two are very difficult to overcome. Think about your future children and who you want their father to be. Advice I gave to my daughters.

Take care.
