Hi Mug

Just wanted to say hello - im in Livingston - not far from Edinburgh. What we are all going through is awful - i cant quite believe my husband has walked out either - you keep trying to work things out in your head but it gets you nowhere.
Just trying to work financial things out - gave up trying to work out ourselves now in the hands of the lawyers but feel things dragging out. Just living in limbo at the moment - while husband has nice new house and new life.
take care

Jayne

Well I'm not moving, I put him out. He earns 5 times what I do and I've never really had much to do with the finances. How very stupid.

I can't face the legal side. He doesn't even know what he wants yet. I have a horrible feeling he will just sent the papers. I feel like I'm dreaming. One morning fine, had cuddle and laugh, then at night he tells me he doesn't love me.

I can't even hate him I feel so numb. Anyway, I'll never ever crawl to him not that it would make any difference. I'm not going to be bitter but he is not going to play me for a fool.

hi all, i'm from glasgow, unfortunately i'm the one out the house. my marriage finally disintergrated over the end of last year. both of us, i think were to blame. all very much a rollercoaster. the part i find hard is the assumption that its not as bad for fathers to not see their kids.
i think there are days where i am sick talking about it and can't really stop thinking about it too. this forum has at least gave some comfort in the fact there are other people in the same boat.

if it helps feel free to pm me.

Hi everyone

I am from Scotland too - East Coast tho. (Edinburgh)

I feel like a burden and have gone from keeping all my problems to myself, to the complete opposite (this place helps)

I said to a friend today (as am really worried about my daughter being very anxious) that my life is no longer like a Jeremy Kyle progamme - more like a market stall in the middle of the high street with all my emotions lying out on a table for the whole world to see and comment on. No shame left!!

My charmer left it until last Valentines over a nice meal and quite literally a bottle of Chiante!! (aka Hannibal Lectur)

Someone mentioned a Scottish meet - I think it would be a great idea ??

Hey mug - sending you a (((((hug)))))

I was where you are now a year ago. It is really scarey, and there are lots of rough times ahead. DO you have kids??

My ex did the same - its over I dont love you anymore - i too read all the books, persuaded him into a counselling session that was hell for me, and he left anyway - blaming me all the way.

Guess what - he had someone else!!! Shock I know! I would have guessed it if I read my own story but it was a real shock to me and it was rolled out over a few months. He still denys it!

Take lots of time, it is a real real hard shock. This will take a lot to take on board. Could you keep with the counselling yourself? It did help me over the first few months where I was reeling. some days all fired up and almost manic with positiveness and the next few crying and no energy to talk or move, although I had to work and be with the kids.

My heart goes out to you - and sad as it is - we have all been there so can empathise with what you are going thru.

Take very good care of yourself
