    it is going to hurt like hell. But you are all right time will make things better.
    For those on the recieving end I'm sorry you are going through this. I'm used to being on the recieving end myself and being heartbroken. This time is different is all new emotions . I feel guilty at times bc he does have kids that know me well by now but I can't ignore how he treats me at times. I feel like I'm bending myself backwards just for us to be together and on top of that he is not considerate, and always fault-finding.

    Hugs everyone

    Yup...

    It took me almost 4 years to get out of a bad marriage (he had cheated and was still an a-hole and not loving me the way I deserved).

    I said this in another similar thread.

    The moment the fear of being alone, of the unknown, or the future, of missing the person, etc.. the moment you overcome that fear, you can break free. It's JUST fear that is holding you back.
    And fear can be overwhelming... hence the 3-4 years it took me.

    But finally came the moment that the fear of being MISERABLE alongside him for the rest of my life (just imagining that now gives me an anxiety attack) was greater than the fear of being myself and not knowing my future.


    At least now I have hope. I haven't been this happy in years. Yes it was scary. Yes I cried a little. Yes I'd freak out sometimes. I didn't sleep well at first. I drank a lot (haha). And I didn't make the best decisions during that time (rebound relationship) but today I'm not the same woman I was when I was married. I'm actually truly smiling from the inside out.
