Thrown away

Today my marriage ended. It feels like my world has been turned upside down. I haven’t had time to process it because I’m too busy pretending it will be okay for my kids, but I’m devastated. I didn’t just lose apart of my family but my best friend.

Regardless of the reason/circumstances, that's a hard pill to swallow, i hope it goes as well as it can for you, and I'm very sorry to hear this, good luck!
Wow...I am sooo sorry.

This is a huge hit to one's self, as I have observed...

I hope you are being able to begin to be more...used to it...

? These holidays must have been hard...

😣😢😭
Three years later, how are you holding up? Been in your shoes on this one and it took me a long time to get past mine emotionally.

What happened if he/she was your 'best friend'
DrWatson · 70-79, M
As for his sudden anger and listing of your faults, I might have some insight about that, based on my experience with other married men I know.

Please understand that I am NOT accusing your husband of doing the things they did. But I do have an observation to make that might apply to him.

One man I know had multiple affairs, and when his wife found out about it and dragged him into marriage counselling, he went on and on about how the affairs were HER fault: if she had been more loving, or more whatever, he would not have behaved that way.

(He has since become very ashamed of himself for doing this, and in fact he has worked really hard at repairing his relationship with his wife.)

I know another man who is in prison for sexually abusing his children. He also says that if his wife had been more whatever, he never would have engaged in abusive behavior. (Unlike the first guy, he still suffers from a delusional persecution complex and is not at all ashamed of saying such bull.)

Again, I am not accusing your husband of either infidelity or abuse. But it is not unusual for a husband to get angry at his wife because of things inside himself that he is angry at or ashamed of, and which he cannot face honestly. Perhaps if he were single, he would not have to face his inner demons. But marriage holds up a mirror in which he is forced to see himself, and he might get angry at the mirror.

Be strong, be kind to yourself. Cry and scream if you need. Exercise has helped me in many ways, I hope you find something that may help you.

@Cofuzion Thank you.
WillaKissing · 56-60
How did this happen? I know how mine happened, and believe me when she left I was Damn well relieved. I only hurt for my kids sake as well.
DrWatson · 70-79, M
@Fulcrum I know from experience what it feels like when you don't see it coming! ( In my case it was just a breakup, not a divorce.) It hurts! 😟
Fulcrum · 31-35, F
@WillaKissing He was so cold and angry when he told me this. I'm not sure why he would be so angry towards me if he was sleeping around.
WillaKissing · 56-60
@Fulcrum His own Guilt is coming out towards you because he knows he betrayed you, so he is painting you as the bad guy in his mind for his stupid betrayals to clear his conscience for cheating and wanting a divorce. I have been there and through it. Nothing you have done, just all him.
Nevertooold · 56-60, M
I just saw this after I had messaged you..very poor timing on my part..I'm sorry you are going through this..I've been there and trust me it does get better..If you want to talk about it or if I can help in any way..please feel free to reach out..Hang in there!!

Sorry to hear that.... Right now the world looks Dark but that veil will lift.... Just remember that rather than an ending, it's a new beginning... What you make of it is up to you.... Hugs
Fulcrum · 31-35, F

Echambers101 · 26-30, M
@Fulcrum don't say that about yourself
MrGoodbar · 51-55, M
@Fulcrum Sounds like he has done a number on you for sure for you to think that.

Omg that is so sad. Im so very sorry. That is so devastating
TexChik · F
Oh no I’m so sorry ! Don’t panic . Attorney interviews start tomorrow . If you have friends that have gone through it get a recommendation . It a slow process .
TexChik · F
@Fulcrum Did he just bail on you ? Don’t be embarrassed ... you are not responsible for his actions. He is . You need the emotional support . Call your mom and sister ... family and friends will be there for you .
Fulcrum · 31-35, F
@TexChik Yes he did. He dumped all his grievances on me told me it was over, and just packed up his tuff and left. He was the person I talked to about my problems more than my family. I feel isolated.
TexChik · F
@Fulcrum he’s been cheating . Surround yourself with loved ones ... tell your family . Nothing can be done tonight , don’t panic . You’ve been betrayed
