Hi,
I'm Michelle and I'm new here!
Two weeks ago my husband of 11 years blindsided me with news of his new girlfriend..and asking for a divorce..
Since then, we've been living together in the same house, him sleeping on the couch most nights, we are going to counselling, but have only had one session so far...
I just told my family last night and feel the need to start expanding my support network, but when does it get easier? Everyone says it will get harder before it gets easier...
To make things more complicated (why not? ) we bought a new house 4 weeks ago, and are in the process of selling our old house..we've got two kids who are 5 and 2...now I *think* we are selling the old house, moving into the new house and then just selling it as well - it is way too big for just me and the kids - plus, it was supposed to be our *future* house....
When will I stop crying at the drop of a hat? When will I be able to start a conversation with "My husband left me for an Internet Slut" without the waterworks! I even cried in the bank manager's office on Friday..
I finally told him last night he had to find a new place to live...that didn't go well..but based on what he is telling me today, he has started looking...I feel my heart pounding in my chest all the time and feel sick and blah almost all the time..
Anyway..I'm sure some of you have been there before...I'm just reaching out to find new friends and new supports...
Best wishes!
Michelle
