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

Well I did it....

I've been mulling over whether I should send the manipulating ***** a letter telling her exactly how I feel. I drafted something a couple of days ago and spent last night in bed whilst crying my heart out for anther hour deciding what to do with it. I decided in the end to message it to her on facebook seeing as that is the place she came onto my husband initially. I was not rude in my letter but noted fact and how I was feeling. I await her response - and am listening out for a phone call to my husband. I have told him and showed him what I have written - he wasn't happy.....

The boxes in the hallway have all gone to her house now. And then I discover that whilst I am in church he is out with her at Argos buying new units for his DVDs! They were spotted by someone we know who I don't think is aware of the situation. It will be interesting to see what happens ....

After church I took the Christmas decorations down and now with a barer room and with areas of our study and dining room emptying out things are starting to look very different. In all the lonely time I will have soon I will probably have a big purge of things.

Everyone at church was great and those who didn't know were guess what - yes shocked ! They said that this behaviour was uncharacteristic of him and that 'the other woman' must have some sort of evil hold over him.

Tonight we are going to a friends party. I will be staying serving behind the bar as I don't think I should drink and certainly don't feel like partying. I'm doing the same next weekend but without him being there.

Its sad because I can feel the bitterness in me (for her not him) and can't give myself permission to be happy. I do hope time will heal me and help me move on - at the moment I can't contemplate that.
