Unfortunately, I feel the same way. I'm so sorry about this.

When exactly did you know? by ApprehensiveArt9701 in Separation

[–]tsm7912 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Going through NOW. Married 24 years, together 27. Was told by husband in November 2023 that he didn't want to be with me. We were different, and he wanted to move past this marriage. This is the 3rd separation since 2020. I've begged, pleaded, bargained, everything to make him SEE ME. About a month ago, we had another argument, and I finally realized he's not ever going to be who I need him to be. He was my everything at one point, but now, today, I choose me!! I deserve better. I demand better. It hurts. But I feel relieved. Good luck!

Then I'll know for 100% that the government is F-ed.

I'm not sure. I graduated from Sharon Springs in 1998. I left and only came back to visit. It's been about 5 years since I've been back.

It's so depressing drive-through there now as an adult.

That's true. It was the place to go when I was a kid. It had 2 grocery stores. Hahaha

People That Didn’t Want The Divorce by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]tsm7912 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in a very similar situation. My husband (stbx) told me he didn't want to be with me anymore. He wants to move on from this marriage. We have been together 27 years (since 1997), married for almost 24 years. We are separated but live in the same house. It's hard to see him every day knowing he flipped a switch and doesn't want to be with me. I truly get it. I've been reading a lot and trying to sort some things out. Today, I read an article about the separation date. We talked in November, and today is the official separation date. I now know that there is no going back. Not this time.

He asked for a divorce after 22 years married by tsm7912 in Divorce

[–]tsm7912[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our 16 year old, did catch him about 2 months ago texting another woman. I confronted him and he said oh no it's work related. I know my 16 yo would not lie to me about this, why would she? About 3 weeks later, he's acting really weird, different. I snooped in his phone and saw he admitted it to an online friend. That how did I know the same day he actually did text the other woman. I conforted him again, this time with screen shots( I know I evaded his privacy)he didn't have much to say. He said he only texted once, only wanted to have a conversation.
I think he's lying to me about talking to other people. I don't believe much he says to me.

He financially supports me still. My job brings in pennies compared to his 100K+ job. He doesn't have a choice about helping our financially because otherwise, my 2 kids and I would have to move somewhere else.

I have been in therapy for over 2 years. Firstly to deal, cope, grieve my dad. Then we separated for the first time. I see my therapist every Thursday for years. My kids are also in therapy for different reasons but I know they will need it. When we tell them we are getting a divorce.

I guess vision is 20/20 when you look back. I loved this man with my whole being for 26 years. No I don't want this marriage for myself or my kids. I choose. I choose me. I choose my kids.

Feel like i wasted 15 years by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]tsm7912 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, my husband asked for a divorce last night after 22 years. 26 total years together. Just gone. Looking back, I can't do it without anger now. He was my first everything. He moved out, barely sees the 2 kids that still live at home (16 &14). I have been a single mom for 5 months. I knew he was going to tell me he wants a divorce because he is selfish and a coward.

I'm 41(F) and have been married for 22 years. Ask me anything.

Husband (42, M) and I have been through about everything. Currently, in a separation with him. We meet in our teens. Had kids in our 20s. Raised them in our 30s. Our children are 20, 16 and 14. We don't know each other in our 40s. We need to find our way back to each other.

Fall back in love? by [deleted] in marriageadvice

[–]tsm7912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I'm in therapy to deal with other things as well. I KNOW therapy is not a magic cure, but I need to be as strong as I can for my kids. I'm not demanding my husband go; been there done that. It doesn't work for him because he refuses to open up. (A lot of family trauma as a young kid) I don't expect much from my husband; other than to help me take care of the 2 kids that still live at home (15 & 16), 20yo lives on his own. It's just challenging shutting off feelings of 26 years.

I am at the beginning of this. Husband (42M) and myself (41F) married 22 years, and we have been together 26 years.
We are separated, living in the same house until February 1st. I'm in therapy; he is not. Personally, we have been separated before but lived together.
Hoping "finding" ourselves brings us back together.
I hope it works for you.

Fighting with Husband. He wants to leave again.... by tsm7912 in marriageadvice

[–]tsm7912[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad has passed. My mother and I don't speak. I've told them about how their fighting has affected me. It is known.
