I just joined this group and I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thank you in advance. About my wife and I--We have been married almost 13 years and together 16 years. I'm 45, she's 39. We both have our Masters Degrees and good careers. We also have two sons that are 6 and 9 years old. I have general anxiety and take zoloft for it which keeps it in check. My wife has ADHD and takes meds as needed. My wife and I are currently experiencing a very difficult time in our marriage. My wife recently has stated she wants to divorce and sell our brand new house that we built two years ago. I don't want to ..read more

Doesn't look as though a reconciliation is in the cards so I got the ball rolling with a moving company. It sort of brings the whole separation/divorce thing into sharp relief. I'm just so sad. I can't keep living in an empty house. Separation and divorce is just a terrible, miserable experience. I'm sorry but I just can't help it: I'm just heartbroken. I'm so sad I could just die ..read more

I have a harrowing notion that none of this will change or improve: I feel like I'll be stuck in an endless loop of grief, sadness, heartbreak. I used to be a lot tougher; not any more. Just another sad, lonely old man. Separation and impending divorce is simply hideous. Brokenhearted... and that'll never change. God help me ..read more

Up most of the night, as usual, drinking whiskey and watching videos on my phone. Somehow, I don't think this is any good for me ..read more

I'm so broken hearted I could just die. I'm devastated. I don't think I'll ever be whole again. I'm just miserable. Sitting in an empty house, waiting for a reconciliation that'll never happen. I'm just heartbroken ..read more

Any thought of reconciliation went by the board tonight. The end of us? After all these years? It just makes me want to die. I'm just heartbroken. Devastated. Crushed. All over? Just broken ..read more

My separated-from wife gave an inkling of possible reconciliation but I'm afraid I'm fooling myself. I just want to say (because I need to say it somewhere): I love my wife. Miss her ..read more

It's as though I had no idea how to be a good one. I love my wife. Just because I was a lousy husband doesn't mean I didn't have a heart full of love. I did. And I do. I'm just heartbroken. Devastated ..read more

So this is a long story. My husband (28M) and I (27F) have been together for +10 years, married for 1.5 years. We had just bought a house and used all our waken hours painting, getting it ready and have bought furniture for our future home… or so I thought. We were packing in moving boxes 7 days ago when he said we needed to talk. He told me that we would only be moving my stuff and he would be staying in the apartment. He said he wanted to decide things for himself and be himself, find out who he is, and he had a hard time seeing himself romantically involved with me anymore. I am of course ..read more

It's been four years and I still think everyday about my ex. Not in the sense of needing, missing, or really wanting them-- but they come to mind. Their birthday was last month, so that lead to thinking about them a lot more than normal for me, but it's at least a passing thought everyday. I'm really not sure how normal that is to still have such a connection to someone who isn't in my life in any way. It's better this way, but I can't help but have reminders... even four years later, everyday ..read more
