Hi,
I have been on and off of this board for years. Gosh it is hard. H left 3 days before our 25th wedding anniversary and same month of my 50th bday. Double whammy! Ha. In these last 7 months, I've gone through all of the usual grieving stages. Sought counseling from a therapist. Sought legal counsel. In the end...I think the old phrase "time heals all wounds" is coming true for me. H was still in pretty good contact until month 6....then he dropped off. Stopped coming around to pick up the dogs. Even bought a brand new sportster Harley. Classic MLC. I don't even know where he lives?

After 7 months, I still cry, but day by day it is getting a little easier? I've learned not to expect anything from H. He has said many times over the last six months "maybe we can see each other" but I'm not going to initiate. And it has never happened. My kids in their 20's are Switzerland as they should be.

Luckily my H is still supporting us financially which is enormously appreciated. But he is still a rat *astard for breaking my heart. Not sure what will happen from here. At least for now, he is paying the bills, I have the house, and the dogs!

Much love to all of you in this same situation. I get it.
