Hi Si_07, it was good reading through your story and I take a lot positives from your situation.
I myself am only 5 weeks into this torrid situation. My W left after we had been together for 18 years, married for 10 and with a 3.5 year old son. The reason being that I have been controlling and failed to listed - but apparently this was like the flick of a switch.
There has been little to no communication and I feel so lost.
I'm only 36 so my entire adult life has been with her and I got my validation from her. I know that I've come so far (even in just 5 weeks), but I have no idea how I am supposed to drag myself through each day.
Bravo to you though fella.
