I am so sorry to hear about your sitch. I went through a very similar sitch with my H when we had been married about 18 years and felt the same emotions as you are feeling. It took some time to work through. It is painful and enlightening at the same time. You will find strength and wisdom you did not even know you had.
Hello teach,
Everything you are feeling is so normal. Do not try to bury the pain, that will only make things worse. You have gotten some great advice from my forum friends Matt and mahhhty and others. I really thought gr8ful3 nailed it--especially the last sentence from the quote above.
This forum is like one giant loving family. Post as often as you can. My sitch is similar to yours. My W decided to walk out one day in October and filed for D the next day. 7 months later, I am still DB'ing and feel better about myself than I have in my entire life. Why? Mainly from the support and advice from people like mahhhty (he was the first one to really follow my sitch) and countless others. And there is still hope for my sitch.
I came across this verse yesterday and would like to share it with you:
“But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength” (2 Timothy 4:17).
You CAN do this.
Sending many *Hugs* your way...
Bob
