On one hand, I took vows before God and family til death do us part so I'm trying to decide which of the Big 10 God will forgive. Thou shalt not kill or thou shalt not commit adultery (or be alone for the rest of my life - which doesn't sound like a terrible option!).
Me, too.
I was married for 25 years, together for 27. I was so
ANGRY with Rob and husband (for not supporting me) that escape was the relief I sought.
Beth, I don't regret my decision. It's been over 5.5 years. I was a great wife and I liked being part of a couple, even exdh would (and has) agree.
But don't kid yourself. It's hard to be alone. It's lonely. (And there are definite advantages, too.
) I needed to see my counselor to help me sort through those things to figure out what to do.
exdh and I also went to a "marriage counselor." What a joke that was. I wrote exdh a single spaced letter with things that were upsetting me about our marriage. The "marriage counselor" read my letter, told exdh that this was what he needed to do if he wanted to save his marriage, exdh "choked" as he always did with emotional issues and didn't say anything, so the "marriage counselor" released us.
What a crock.
Try to take a break this weekend and do something fun FOR YOU, then revisit this next week.
Hugs,
