YBR you've hit the nail on the head for me. Your description of what this is like and how people not in this situation just don't get it really hit home. I'm still struggling. Moving forward slowly. I met my H at 13, and we did grow up together. I truly felt he was part of me and his sudden (what seemed sudden to me) decision that he didn't love me anymore has been difficult to comprehend. I am mourning the loss of what was and it's not something I can rush, even as I move forward, accept the loss of my marriage and accept the fact that I will never understand. Thank you for putting it into words.
