A bit about me!

Hi

The site says i should introduce myself so here i go!

I met my husband whilst on holiday when i was 21, after 5 months of being back in the UK we decided that we could not live without each other so I moved 200 miles away from all my friends and family to live with him.

Things were going well and after a year and half of being together I fell pregnant - we were both delighted! When I had the baby we decided that we wanted to get married, we planned a big and wonderful wedding.

We got married in July 2006, the day was wonderful and when my husband did his speech i was so moved.

3 months after our marriage he went out until 5 a.m. on a Thursday morning (he always went out into town with friends but never till this late) when I challenged him about it he told me he was leaving me and my 2 and a half year old son! He left and moved out straight away.

I found out 2 weeks later that he was having an affair with a married woman who had 2 kids, we were offically married for just 3 months!

The divorce is going through now and it is getting nasty - he wont pay for anything and is claiming that he is not working yet i know he is!

I cant wait until the divorce is final!!!

Hallo and hugs ((()))

Hope you find this site helpful and supportive. You've had to cope with a lot in a short space of time, but you aren't alone.

Hi Liz,

Your story sounds very similar to my own, I had only been married for 5 months when my wife recently left me saying she needed space and time blah blah blah. I have since found out that she was spending loads of time with a guy from work and although she denies anything happened or is happening I no longer believe what she says to be true.

I think that some people seem to panic when they get married and suddenly start feeling trapped and realize that they should never have committed. In my case my wife has said that she thought she wanted a family life and kids etc but is now no longer wanting it and needs to enjoy herself. We are only 25 and I understand that we are still pretty young as married couples go but I cannot understand why you would commit to someone and then run away after only a few months.

Some people are just not cut out for marriage and although I still love my wife very much i am not going to let her ruin my life. I know that she doesn't deserve me and I would like to think that i'm a decent guy.

Stay strong Liz as it will get easier, I have felt better over the last month and have found this site a great support recently.
