[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 89524, member: 805"] Karen, believe me, I can relate. My father passed away and two weeks later bonehead said he wanted a seperation. And we too had many years invested in our relationship. This November will be our 23rd anniversary, if the divorce is not final by then (it's in the works), plus five years before that. So I do understand about dealing with the loss and the dissapointment at the same time. While I pertty quickly realized that I was going to be ok, it was still the loss of a dream I held for 25 years. And, there was no way was I moving out of the house. This is my home and if he wants out of the relationship, either by words or actions, he can go. I love my home and am happy here, and so are my children. Don't feel that the years have been a waste. My mom said that to me one time. "You all shouldn't have gotten married." Not true. Part of who I am is because of the last 30. I have two wonderful children from this union. I have a lovely home. I have a business that I believe in. Don't ever feel that things were a waste or for nothing. Nothing happens for no reason. Everything you have done in the past contributes to who you and your children are. Hang in there. It gets better and you will begin to feel in charge and free - it's a good thing when your ex is a bonehead like mine!!! Sharon [/QUOTE]
