Hello Everyone! I need help and advice. My husband just turned 45, bought a corvette in June, and lost both parents a year ago. 1 week after his 45 birthday in August he told me he was unhappy and leaving. He moved out on Sunday!
Wow -- all the time together and this is the first I hear of it. Sure, we were not as intense as we were when we first married. We both worked full time, I am recovering from lung cancer (nonsmoker), and we let life get the way. He refuses counseling and states he is just done with attachments. He is ready to be single again.
Supposedly there is no one -- he just needs to find himself and discover who he is. Which includes him moving to a rent free condo in downtown Houston -- until December. His boss was gracious enough to let him stay in a spare condo.
At the moment -- he is helping to pay bills and is being really attentive with our daughter, but do I just give up and let my marriage fall away?
I have never felt so alone or heartbroken. He was my best friend and I probably devoted too much time to his interests and managing the house. Is there any hope ??? I read the rules and trying to limit contact unless he initiates it.
