My goodness I am overwhelmed by your lovely replies! THANK YOU!

I tried for weeks to find out why he’d made such an extreme decision, why didn’t he tell me he was considering this? I was given lots of reasons, some of which were very hurtful. I’m not perfect but I didn’t realise I was that awful to live with of that he was that unhappy.

I’ve ceased broaching the subject with him now. I have focused on being strong, calm and patient and looking after our children and myself.

Thank you again for all your warm words. They really mean a lot.
