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

Oh wow ......

I can’t believe I last posted in January ! Well here we are in the middle of May and I’ve been together with my wonderful boyfriend for nine months now and we are still very much  in love with each other ❤️

I keep wondering if the bubble will burst at some point but our relationship is still full of fun, laughter and lots of love. We are still finding things out that we think the same on or like. We seem to match so well 😁

I saw my ex at my daughters graduation. He tried to make small talk but it felt like he was trying to get one up on me by telling me about all the gigs he had been to and we’re going to. I couldn’t be bothered with ‘competing’ so reponded politely.

My exes bother sadly died recently after a years battle with cancer - he was only 55. I had planned to go to the funeral but my ex called and said his brothers wife didn’t want me to come so would I consider not going ? I didn’t go but sat alone sobbing after the call as I really wanted to pay my respects as I had known him for around 40 years. Anyhow I agreed not to go as I knew everyone was hurting from his untimely death and I didn’t want to make it more difficult.

The day after the call, the deceased wife messaged me and said I could come, but I decided not to as I felt it would be awkward for all and I didn’t want that to overshadow the day. It transpires that it was my ex that caused the issue rather than the deceaseds wife - told to me by both my exes sisters and the wife. My guess is the manipulating ***** had been involved in some way. Or maybe it was because she was unwell too and they didn’t want to risk a confrontation.  I heard after the event that she recently had a mastectomy.  I would have never caused a scene at such an event even though it would have been the first time I would have seen them together since he left.

On a more positive note I am sooo enjoying my life at the moment. My boyfriend and I do so much together including sorting things out in the house. We’ve sorted and decorated the two bedrooms that the girls had and they are now turned into beautiful guest rooms. The garage has been sorted out and I’ve told him he can bring his motorbike down and put it in there plus his boxes he has in storage to save him some money. We work well together and  he is so clever and talented being able to put his hand to anything!

We spend every weekend together and he comes down in a Wednesday to do the radio show together. It’s been so much fun presenting together that we’ve slightly rebranded the show to include him.

A friend recently said that we look so happy and have the same smiles in all our photos. I truley believe that we are meant to be together 😀
