My husband is moving out tomorrow. Well soon to be ex husband.
He dropped the bomb on 1/6 and I had not seen it coming at all. The papers were filed and I signed them because there was no changing his mind, no sense fighting it, he wanted to be friendly. He doesn't want to work on it at all so I did all the wrong things first and then read DR and came here. Now i'm attempting to GAL, and detaching. We do not discuss the relationship at all. I don't ask questions, he offers nothing but talks about his work. I suspect an EA but separated the phone accounts so I don't look at bills anymore. It won't change anything if I know, only hurt me. I think he's in replay phase. He is almost a stranger yet sometimes he's still the same man I love so I pray for reconciliation. I'm hoping after he leaves that maybe he'll see that the grass isn't greener. He was sneaking things out of the house instead of just telling me he's moving. I finally asked. It was a relief. I hate the wondering. I read over the rules often and now when he leaves tomorrow I will go dark. We have no children but we do have a lot of pets that he loves. I don't know if he'll just be gone for good or will have contact. I will be patient and wait and see. It's super painful but I'm really trying to stay strong and hoping when he's gone I can heal. I have plans on painting, moving furniture and already removed all photos and things that were his or remind me of him. I have an early spring cleaning planned as well. I am going forward as if he will never come back. I was thinking some good things are that I will no longer be awakened by snoring or him getting out of bed several times a night to pee, smoke, eat, or whatever. I can watch what I want, sleep in on weekends, not feel like i'm walking on eggshells anymore. I so do not want this D but I feel in a way that he's giving me release from the past. I hope that the move out means the hardest part is over lol. I have been reading so many posts and just wonder what will happen next. I'm trying to Let Go and Let God. Thanks for listening, it helps to just vent it out and know I'm not alone.
