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

Feeling unwanted and stuck

Well here we are four years and almost three months later and I find myself starting to go on a downwards spiral. It seems I am now even more lonely than before :-( Sadly everyone else has moved on and I'm still stuck. I can see now why people who seem to have recovered from something would suddenly out of the blue commit suicide. Every one gathers around. To be there for you when it first happens but recovery takes so much longer and I'm guessing it becomes too much for most friends to hang in there. Being a singleton seems to immediately make you difficult to fit in with couples.

Work has got worse - I have very little to do and despite asking over and over again for some projects/work and making my management aware I am twiddling thumbs nothing is coming my way. I am so bored...... Whilst I understand that we are going through a reorganisation and have to wait for the announcement ( next Thursday) it seems nuts that some folk are sooo busy and others are not. I feel so guilty not having anything to do. I have a gut feel that I am going to be made redundant. And while I think that is what I want I am beginning to worry about becoming a complete recluse with no real friends.

I'm loving the radio programme that I am now doing on my own, but it is very much a solitary thing.

On the whole I feel unwanted and stuck again :-(

I love my daughters dearly and they treated me on Mother's Day this weekend which was lovely. My youngest who is at university in London is planning to come and live at home for her second year. I'm looking forward to that.
