Di- Glad to see you started your own thread. You have been getting GREAT advice here. I can understand your hurt and anger about your H buying a new house but you have to let it go or it will continue to eat away at you. You need to distance yourself as much as you possibly can from whatever your H does. I know everyone always says this and I know from my experiences that your H's crisis (which includes buying the house) has NOTHING to do with you. Your H needs to explore and exhaust all the avenues that he thinks will bring him happiness. He needs to to this before there is any chance he will recognize that your marriage was not the source of his unhappiness. Let him go figure it out and while he is doing that, find yourself and what makes you happy. If you can completely let go and find yourself, you may discover that you are truly happier without him. Let go and just see what happens...and don't forget to count all of your blessing as often as you can...if you can do that, you may find yourself with a whole new perspective.
