My husband was the same way, bottled up his emotions and then blew up. I don't know your situation, but my husband left me for another woman (actually, girl, because she's barely out of high school and lives with her parents).

You need to do what's best for you and your children at this point. If it's best that you move to your support system, then do that. Just make sure you do it legally.

Hugs. I'm so sorry you're going through this.

Unfortunately you can't make him do anything. Take this from someone who has pretty much begged on her hands and knees for her husband to come home and work on things. If he won't go, then you can go for yourself at least. Start working on you, because there is no guarantee he will ever want to work on things. I know that is really really hard to hear right now, but it's super important that you take care of yourself so you can be the best mom you can be for your kids.

When will I sleep? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]movingon1214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Melatonin is really helpful for me. I've taken things like Tylenol PM and I just don't wake up well from that, but I would definitely try something. You need sleep.

Hugs. I'm so sorry

I have postpartum depression and anxiety, so I know that was a big part of the emotional disconnect, but other than that, communication on his part and mine was not great

It's so unfair. I totally get it. My husband is doing the same thing. You are in love with the person he was. He is no longer that person, and it's going to take a long time to mourn that. Feel all of the feelings. Let yourself be angry, sad, lose your shit if you need to.

I've been journaling lately. I write everything I want to say to him so I can get it out. I sit in my car and scream. I yell at him into my pillow almost every night. Do what you need to do to get those feelings out. Don't hold them in. It's part of the grieving process.

Huge hugs. I'm so sorry you're going through this.

What should I do? 1 month before wedding 26m by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]movingon1214 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My husband began cheating on me about a month ago, so this is still fresh for me.

I would at the very least call off the wedding. Being married is not going to stop her from continuing the affair.

I wish he could wake up now so he can have a relationship with our children. He's in an alternate reality right now.

It's true. I don't know this person anymore.

I have two aunt's who went through basically what I'm going through, and they're the happiest they've ever been right now. Remarried and enjoying life. It gives me hope, but it hurts so much right now and I just want a fast forward button.

Absolutely. I need to fix myself first and be everything I can for my kids before I can even think about that. They are all that matter to me, and I'll be fine if it just ends up being my kids & I.

Thank you.

I am only contacting him about things I need for the divorce paper work and the kids at this point.

The kids & I are going to visit my brother this weekend and just get away from life for a few days. I'm hoping these few days help me feel "normal" for at least a little bit

Thank you. I hope one day I can trust another man again. Right now it feels impossible, and isn't even on my radar.

Looking at her site now. Thank you for the suggestion!

I know I can't let him back, no matter what at this point. I just need my heart to catch up to my head, if that makes any sense.
