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

Trust - does it exist ?

Its been a couple of weeks since I last posted. I think I am posting less as I feel my life is in limbo. I get up go to work (sometimes doing long hours), come home - may go to rehearsal or sit on my own doing not a lot. I find it really hard to build up the enthusiasm to do anything. If I do get out or do something I am fine.

Last Saturday I performed in a 100th anniversary concert of Titanic the Musical. It was very emotional. I stood on stage with tears streaming down my face. I think it was a combination of thinking about the people who died in that terrible tragedy and knowing that my husband directed the show in 2009 which was when his affair first started. I remember at the time of the show being surprised that the manipulating ***** had come to see it. I had never seen her at a show before. How naive and stupid I was. I thought she had come to see a mutual friend who was in it but she really came because my husband had directed it. I so trusted him for such a long time - how can I trust anyone anymore when the person you trusted wholly and would have given my life for betrays your trust ? I wonder what else he has done in the past ? Am I the only person who doesn't have any secrets or things to be ashamed of ?

In a couple of weeks I go to Germany for a long weekend to visit an old friend I haven't seen in years. I also emailed one of my cousins not expecting to hear back, but I did within 30 mins of me emailing. I am now also going to visit my four cousins and their families for a day. I haven't seen them in about 20 years. I am really nervous as I have physically changed so much and my German isn't very good anymore. Whilst I have travelled on business on my own you are well looked after with cars, business class etc. This will be the first personal trip I have done alone since I was sixteen (which it happens was to Germany to visit my cousins!). I am back to that lonely only child I was when I was younger.

I started yesterday quite well by going out and about sorting some things out. Since then I have been trying to work on my OU. It is like wading through treacle. I had planned to go on an organised walk in the woods today - I do so like the outdoors and nature, but I woke up late and couldn't drag myself out of bed. It so feels like life has no meaning or reason anymore.

I'm also trying to lose some weight. I was so good last week and didn't lose a single thing - how demotivating :-(

I feel very unwanted. As an only child I need to feel wanted and my daughters don't really need me  much anymore. No wonder I feel so alone - it feels like everyone has deserted me...........
