Right Before Christmas

My husband of 10 years asked for a divorce a week before Christmas...I moved out the next day. Instead of wrapping gifts I was packing my bags...I'm really devastated and I'm having a hard time functioning. I feel like I'm on a roller coaster of emotions...one day I feel I will be ok and then the next day I can barely make it threw...I think of him 24/7...from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep at night...


I cannot understand how he can walk away from our marriage and not look back, or not miss me...not want to call me.

Hi Da...


Welcome to the board... Like I've told some others... I'm sorry you've had to find us, but since you find yourself in this position, I'm glad that you did find us...


Even when things aren't the best, it can be very difficult to make this decision or to have the decision thurst upon us... I would encourage you to let you feel what you're going to feel... there are a whirlwind of emotions... and going through a separation and divorce you feel all of them... take one day at a time (and break it up into smaller pieces if necessary--anyone can make it through five minutes of anything...) and let us know how you're doing...


Do you work?

Hi there.... it's not easy to make a change after you've done something for 10 years (even when you know what you were doing wasn't..... the best of situations).... we don't like change, even when we know we need it... but hang in there.
