In the beginning

On Monday 6th December my husband of over 28 years declared that he is leaving me for another woman. Apparently I have done nothing wrong and he still loves me but is not 'in love' with me.

His affair started around 18 months ago by 'the other woman' contacting and propositioning him on facebook. Now he is no angel as he should have said no - but why would a woman deliberately set out to break up a marriage that was not in trouble just because hers was on the rocks ? To be fair to my husband he told me after I noted that he seemed to be distant - at least I didn't find out via some other route !

We tried twice to make a go of it but both times she managed to come back into his life again opening up wounds and making him think again of her never really giving us a chance. She claims she is 'thick' but I think she targeted him as she could see what a wonderful man is he and wanted him to replace her broken marriage (by her I hasten to add). I also think she is a manipulating *****.

I still love my husband as he is my soulmate and always has been and also was my best friend. So not only has she stolen my husband, she has stolen my soulmate and my best friend.

This blog will hopefully be therapeutic for me and maybe help others who find themselves in a similar situation xx

Gone.....

Well he left today. I  I returned from work and there were spaces everywhere where his clothes were, the dogs toys, his bedside cabinet and so on. He even took the two bottles of Whisky he had opened up.

I managed the day at work reasonably well as I was busy and  I had some lovely texts from friends thinking of me. But as soon as I got in the car the tears came.  I felt so many different emotions all rolled into one - love for him, hate, resent and anger for her, loss and confusion for me. I had a panic attack and had trouble breathing - not a good way to be driving a car. In fact I don't remember the drive home.

He had left the girls and me a letter, a jewellery gift each and two books about getting over relationship breakups. Well I just fell to pieces. Oh and I discovered that he had run up a mobile phone bill of over £300 which I have to pay until he can afford .

He tried to text, call me on Skype, facebook message me - I just ignored them all. I can't talk to him. So going down to rehearsal tonight was awful - I sobbed my heart out when I got there. Thank god for wonderful caring friends who hug you and hold you when you are sobbing. I blanked my husband and ignored him - it was too painful to look or talk to him. He didn't look happy and was texting her throughout the evening (on the pay as you go mobile he bought specially).

My wonderful daugher had made a meal for me when I got back after 11pm as I hadn't eaten much all day. And she had started to do an online Tesco shop for us. My other duaghter has been checking up on me since I got home and another wonderful friend called me for a supportive chat (thanks - you know who you are).

Well I'm off to bed now - I wonder if I will be able to sleep .....
