Hi Im new to this community. I am 30 and my husband decided to leave me after discovering facebook. I was devastated at the time but now I am happily getting on with my life.

I have two children aged 11 and a half and 2. They are from different marriages. Was married at 18:dry: and then again at 25!!

Want to be happy spending time making new friends, seeing old friends and spending time with my family.:cheer:

Would like to offer and receive support and friendship here.

hallo and welcome Smiley!

You will be among friends here.

I have only been married once but was with my husband for a total of 31 years, which ended in July last year when he moved in with someone else and her two younger children.

Our teenage sons are 17 and nearly 15.

I went through hell, but am now feeling more positive and upbeat. No plans to divorce yet though I am feeling more emotionally strong and able to handle it.

Hello thank you for the warm welcome. I cant believe your ex did that?! How awful.Why desert his kids for someone elses? I am sure he is regretting that or will someday.

Good on you, that you are here getting and giving support and not letting it get you down.

Your children are lucky to have you!

Apart from our relationship, I think he found dealing with teenagers quite difficult as they don't automatically do as they are told, and unlike toddlers they don't think the sun shines out of your ****!

The new woman's children are 9 and 5. The 9 yr old boy is a bit of a problem - my ex actually asked me for help in dealing with him and I just burst out laughing!!!

So I don't know how things will be when they are teenagers - they are even less likely to listen as he's not their real dad.

Not my worry though.

Thanks for your kind words. I just do the best I can.

Well Smiley what a possitive post.

Excuse me for asking though. What did he find on Facebook that made him want to leave you.

Never been on it so wouldn't have a clue :lol:
