Husband has left me for a younger woman

[Bex]

How do you picture giving up? What would you do differently?

Hi sandy

Actually that's a really good question and to be honest I probably wouldn't be doing much differently! I'd still be getting on with my life, catching up with friends and devoting my energy to my children.. I just have a candle burning in the background for my marriage that I refuse to blow out just yet, I suppose the giving up bit would be filing for divorce which I absolutely do not want to do. I don't want to give up hope for us, I really don't, I see that it is very very early days and I want to make sure that when I do file that 1. This relationship he has with this girl is real and not affair fantasy and 2. I have given up on the marriage

I totally wouldn't want to go back to the way we were before, we definitely have issues (solve able ones) that could be worked on to make a much better marriage in the end.

All my friends tell me I could never trust him again and I shouldn't consider taking him back after the way he has treated me but I just can't close the door completely on our marriage
