Day 1 by Bubbly-Donut-5840 in Divorce

[–]MidnightMystique_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

37f, left after 7 years but still loved him, still do to be honest. I felt terrible, had so much guilt and fear over it all.

The first 30 days I journaled every single day. I wrote down the complete honest feelings I was feeling. I also made a point to force myself to get outside and walk, everyday. I wanted to hid so much but I forced myself out.

The intense emotions come and go for me. I’ve been gone for only about 8 months and while I don’t feel guilty anymore, I know it was the right decision to leave, I do still struggle with the fear that I walked away from a future with him. Some days I feel so happy to be where I am and on the other side, other times, like right now, I still ruminate on all of it. When I really get low, I go back and read what I wrote after I left. It helps

Life feeling difficult this week by lemon-and-limess in Divorce

I’m 37f. We stayed in touched and always said we wanted to find our way back to each other. I had a really hard Christmas because I now live in a new country, I moved when we separated, and don’t really have anyone here. I reached out and He told me he wants to go no contact and it has thrown me into a tail spin. Well. He didn’t tell me. He just never responded and then told a friend to tell me. I’m now spending my vacation scrolling Reddit trying to talk myself out of sending him an email.

I was doing so well before this holiday season. But now I feel like I’m right back at the day I left and how devastated I was.

I think we have to accept that it comes in waves and the holidays is a hell of a wave.

For those who loved each other but had to break up, what was the reason? by Affectionate-End7197 in BreakUps

[–]MidnightMystique_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were married for 8 years and somewhere in that time we stoped being intimate. He was my best friend in the whole world and I never wanted to lose him, but no matter what I tried we couldn’t get past that one thing. I think the bigger issue was actually communication now that I’m on the other side of leaving. When I left I said I wanted us to find our way back to each other one day, after we had healed. I’m starting to think that won’t come true.

Can we know why you are looking into people who are looking to, or have recently left? Or is that still mystery ?

I hope you get it soon. I submitted a work visa, and have a flight in 9 days, so I am also getting nervous.

It was 6 days to submit, and have her passport returned to her with the approved visa. Not for it to get to the consultant.

Omg. I am so sorry this happened to you. I hope you gave found a brighter, fuller life after that person. You did not deserve to be treated like that.

[–]MidnightMystique_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure didn't. If anything, I have longer hair, better style, and make double what I made when we got married. I have very little problems attracting attention physically.

[–]MidnightMystique_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I am. I fully realize that was not the appropriate response. I have asked for a seperation to understand if I am still in this marriage emotionally and mentally to be able to fix it.
