Hi Nanu,
Nice to speak to you. You have come to a very special place. The people are great, we are all going through it so we can share your emotions, sadness (and happiness) and help with the financial worries and processes.

I am have been on here for a while and you find, you can post a message in the morning, by the afternoon another set of emotions have kicked in and by the evening you are feeling different again, being on emotional rollercoaster is tough - but it helps to get it out - I write a blog - and would encourage you to - when you read it back you think god that was awful but you get through it.

You don't say how long you was in your relationship - I was with mine 20 years and its tough to wake up one day and they don't want you any more. Be strong. You can do it and find a better way of living.
Good luck
Carrie

Hi Carry thank you for your reply.
This was my second marriage and it was only 5 years +one year living together first.
I am from Norway and my husband talked me into moving to this country selling my flat and all my assets in Norway.
Because of his total incompetence in economic matters its all gone.
Then he decided I was no fun anymore and found somebody else.

A difficult time so far away from your homeland too.

Don't know whether you have found it already but www.norway.org.uk/ is the offical Norway site in the uk with all of your homeland news etc. They even have webcam links to loads of Norwegian locations to make you feel like you are there again.

Thanks Mike
I keep in touch with Norway as I have family there.
Will maybe go home again one day at the moment I am working here in London, I also study at the open University and I have a little artist career on the side.
I am not going to let the divorce totally ruin my life but I am of course very hurt and depressed.

Hi Nanu

Welcome to wiki - although it is for a very sad reason that you find yourself here. You will find lots of people on the site in the same situation as you who will be of great comfort and support to you.

They really are a great bunch of people i love them all dearly and dont know where i would be without them. They keep me sane.

Hallo Nanu

You have your work, your course and your artistic side to help you, and this site will be another resource too.

I am 52 and my husband of 18 years (we were actually together for 31) left 2 months ago to live with another woman. He would have left earlier, but stayed till our elder son did his GCSEs.

Elder son is causing me heartache at the moment as he refused to go to 6th Form or college and currently has nothing to do except hang about with equally lollabout friends.

I also have a job, which pays badly, but provides me with an escape from home life and which I find rewarding in other ways, I also work with a bunch of supportive people.

My younger son is very caring towards me and is just starting his GCSEs.

At the moment, husband and I plan to remain civil and he will pay household bills etc until 2012, when our mortgage is paid off and younger son will be 18. We then plan to sell the house.

It's scary as in one way I should be able to move anywhere and do anything, but I really need to find a better-paid job and of course my sons will still be a concern for me.

Anyway, as someone on this site said when I joined, its a rollercoaster of emotions, but here you have someone to scream with!
