I'm back today after a wonderful week in Santorini with a girl friend. The week was spent exploring the island and chilling round the pool and on the beach. We didn't let time dominate us at all and it was lovely. I loved the island, the place we were staying at, the weather, the people, the food etc, etc. I so didn't want to leave and shed a tear as the plane took off. I think I shall have to go back
We met and chatted to so many people. Of these people two sets were pairs of women who had travelled together like my friend and me and one was brave enough to have travelled on her own. All were around my age with children of similar ages and all were in the situation of having had their partners leave them over the last 7 years or less. These women were an inspiration to me. They were so full of life, happy and content with being on their own. We agreed to keep in touch via facebook.
One of the ladies was an angel therapist and told me that there was light shining out of me and that the way I was handling things was the right way. That is the first time someone had said that to me.
I've had time to think while I was away and whilst I still love my husband and think he is generally a good man, I have realised many flaws in him and in me. And I have further confirmed what a manipulating scheming ***** she is.
I can't remember if I told my husband that I was going away or not, but he didn't text me once whilst I was away......
I think it is time to move on now. The trip was the start to a new chapter in my life....
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
