I Am Newly Separated

Separated From My Husband.

By: Liz0143
Written on January 15th, 2013
A week ago I asked my husband for separation. After dealing with all the negativity and his rudeness, drinking,and not to mention the affair he had and ended 7 months ago. I just couldn't feel happy. I tried. I have been in therapy for almost a year now. He had started marriage counseling, but soon he started making excuses to go, saying it too expensive and he's too busy at work. So I said enough is enough! I was tired of not bro g taken serious. This is my life and u want to be happy.
The first day was a bit hard, but I that was the only day I felt down. I honestly feel liberated and I am able to be happy and take care of myself. I'm a little afraid of what this means :/

      Well it's been 7 weeks now since he's been out of our home... In the beginning he drank a lot and was terribly depressed. That lasted about 2 weeks. He started seeing a therapist, and that seems to be helping. He's come around more now and I am open to trying to work on our marriage. I'm just trying to heal, its not easy to love someone who caused you so much pain. I am just taking it one day at a time. I do have my days where all I do is think about the affair and compare myself to her. But in the end I know I'm the better person!
      I hope this helps you... You mentioned you were in a similar situation, what happened? What was your out come?

      Yes. It was a combination of weird/wild/reflection/and return.
      But it's not something I want other to read so I guess I'll tell you at some other time. Feel free to add me if you wish.
      I hope you guys work it out. :)
