How do I cope with destroying my marrage

My husband of 15 years moved out this week. I feel so lost. He says he basically never liked what I brought to the marriage. He was tired of a messy home and a wife who didn't stick to diets and exercise. He said I am more motived to do this without him. All true things. I am now single mom with two kids no job and a brand new home. He is paying the bills for now. I need to know how to face my kids everyday.


Any advice?

So let me get this straight--you are probably a little overweight (i bet you don't weigh 300 lbs or something like that) and you think that you are the one who destroyed your marriage?

BLAME is a shollow cop-out attempt for him to try to make himself feel better because he spent fifteen years, apparently, living a lie.... don't tell me that he waited FIFTEEN years to all of a sudden decide that he hasn't even liked what you brought to the marriage.... how lousy!


HE'S the JERK!


(and if you've been a stay at home mom, don't work and he moved out.... he'd BETTER keep paying the bills and supporting his CHILDREN because it's ILLEGAL for him to ABANDON them).


Talk to an attorney.... call the court clerk and find out if any attorneys do pro bono work that they have on a list to share with you.... ask family if you can borrow money for a consultation with at attorney.
