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

A new year with a positive mind

Believe it or not it is almost two years since my husband left me for the manipulating ***** - doesn't time fly ! Do I still love him ?.................yes ............... I've tried time and again to feel hate but I can't. I'm learning to accept the situation and be on my own. However I am finding that I have to force myself to do things and go out otherwise I would just stay in all the time. I want to do so much but it is so much effort doing it alone :-( I do think that I am quite a social person and do enjoy others company.

BUT I am determined to have a great 2013. I've lost three stone in weight so far and am aiming to lose another three by the summer.  I want to get fitter by doing another dance class. Other things for 2013 - finish my degree, spend more time travelling and taking photos. I'd also like to get back into my craft making and get some singing lessons to learn how to control my voice better.

I need to work out what I'm going to do for holiday this year - I'll definitely visit my friends in Spain again and hope to visit my cousins in Germany. I have a photography weekend booked in March and am looking forward to that. I also want to try and visit the theatre once a month.

The one thing I am not looking forward to is going through the divorce. I know it is the right thing to do but I feel though I have been forced into it - maybe it will give me some closure ?
