coping with it

by BeenyCI, Oct 11, 2009 11:39AM
My husband and i split up 2 and a half months ago, we have 2 children and i am 6 months pregnant with our third child. It was more his decision than mine. I have struggled getting over it since it happened and asked continuously for the first five weeks of splitting to try marriage councelling but no joy - he is adamant its over. I started thinking after a while that i have to get my head around it and focus on the future but i seem to have back tracked over the last week or so. I am missing him badly and as much as i know deep down it is probably the right thing to do by going seperate ways but when you live with someone for 7 years you get used to being with them and doing everything together. I dont want my life to be without him and am very scared of being on my own for the rest of my life (as who realistically would take on 3 kids).
I need advice on how to move on and maybe seeing light at the end of this horrible long tunnel.

I am in a similiar situation. I was married for 19 years and my husband decided it was over and told me he did not love me anymore. He is not willing to work on anything.

Allow yourself time to grieve, be depressed, mourn. Cry, hit a pillow, do whatever makes you feel better but....

Do not call him, stalk him, or otherwise give him the time of day. Even when every bone in your body wants to reach out to him. Be respectful and consider your children when you deal with him.

Do join a gym or some type of group. Get out there and have adult time with your friends and family. Keep an open mind with any invitations you get. Meet people and be social. Do things that make you happy. I hope you have some type of support. If not talk to a counsler.

You will survive this and guess what....there are plenty of men who are willing to love you and your children. Don't rush to get invovled again though. It will happen when the time is right for you. In the meantime, fill your life with joy and happiness.

Break ups happen even when we do not want them to. Time will heal. I know this is hard to hear but it is true. Give yourself time to heal.
