Dealing with divorce

I'm trying come to terms with where I am.

The last two years have been a nightmare.

I found out my husband was having an affair with a young girl. Not only that but he'd been having affairs behind my back for years, even with someone I'd considered a good friend.

I tried to repair it but there wasn't anything to repair really.

I ended up sofa surfing around friends in my church and drinking far too much. Finally the old friend who'd cheated with my husband told me to wise up. I went to a good solicitor and drove through a tough divorce.

My kids wanted to stay in the big house with dad and the new girlfriend. That was probably the most painful thing.

A few months ago I moved into a new house in a new city and was simply totally lost. I met a neighbour who's been just brilliant. She was the first person I didn't feel was judging me. She keeps suggesting here so I thought I'd try it.

I am sorry for all of that it must have come as quite a shock when you first found out.
I don't think much of the men who would let their ex-wife couch hop, especially one who didn't leave by personal choice.
You are the mother of his children he should have given you a lot more respect.
I'm glad you have a neighbor who is looking out for you and I hope your new life becomes what you need it to be.

@Justmeraeagain his argument was that he was happy for me to stay in the spare room. But I was damned if I was going to do that while his mistress moved into his bedroom.

@AngelaR80 He must have been delusional requesting something like that

@Justmeraeagain it's all about power with him I'm now beginning to realise. He likes being in charge, in control, people doing his bidding.
