Feeling pretty low
| Sun, 06-18-2006 - 3:47pm |
My H of 20 years asked me for a divorce on my birthday two weeks ago. I am still reeling. I have already been served with paperwork. I moved to the east coast with him after my youngest left home. So I am far away from friends and family, feeling pretty alone. I go from anger to tears in seconds and am not handling this very well. This is the first time I have ever posted to a board, but after reading what other women are going through this may be the support I need. I am trying not to have a knee-jerk reaction and do something really stupid. He said he has not been in love with me for years, my surprise. I know things have been rough and I have begged to go to counseling to try to get our relationship back. He always gave me a song and dance. I do not know what to do. So I think someone to write to would be nice. I feel like such a loser. How do I survive?

HUGS! I am so sorry your H asked you for a divorce on your birthday. That is absolutely cruel and tactless.
I wish I had some magic words to make you understand that you'll be fine. All I can tell you is there are many ladies here that are divorced and have gone through the same feeling that you have - shock, sadness,
