I'm 37 years old and after being married for 15 years my stbx told me he didn't love me anymore and he had feelings for someone else.I told him to get out so he is back living with his mum.We have 2 boys aged 14 and 6.Started divorce proceedings as soon as he left which is 2 months ago now.Going through so many emotions at the moment but it's good to know there's plenty more people in the same situation.

Welcome to Wiki chick71 (would never have guessed your age lol I'm one of the younger ones :blush: ) Sorry to hear hear your in the same boat as most of us on hear but climb aboard!
As Ruby says we are all going through the same emotions as yourself with some perhaps at different stages. Everyone is very nice on here and will help you through it, just ask away and you will get the support and advice you may need.

Chat room can be a little busy and daunting but give it a while and you will just become one of us.

best wishes

conners 52 (ok so i told a porkie!)

Hallo and join the club!

My former other half has left to live with a younger woman with her 2 younger kids.

My 16-year-old son has opted out of 6th form and college and decided he can get a job "some time".

My 14-year-old is doing well and he and I are keeping some semblance of normal family life.

I've gone through the wringer of emotions and its not easy, but you do what you need to get by.

This site has helped a lot.

my first wife did the same with my kids but i assume mine were much older than yours at the time, but it still hurt big time. it's both genders huni, they really don't have any respect or feelings for the partners they cheated on.

it is very hard and for what it's worth, you have my greatest sympathy, i can only say try not to think about it too much cos your kids know who their mum is and nobody is ever going to replace you come hell or high water.

kind regards

Hi chick71

I'm 42 - 3 boys - 11, 7 and 3. Husband desperate to have boys over for weekend at his new woman's house. They haven't seen him properly since he left 2 1/2 months ago. All loved up and happy with new life and thinks everyone else will climb aboard happily. Sucks. Our partner's build walls around themselves so they don't have to see the hurt or wreckage they cause. I agree with Conners - your kids (esp 14 year old) will see the relationship for what it is and that you are their mum and so special. This is just a weekend away and no doubt they will miss you, their things, their rooms and their friends.
