I have been divorced since 2013 and separated for 12 months before that.

My ex husband cheated in spectacular fashion just six weeks after our fairytale white wedding. I was of course too humiliated to walk away. After the classic “trying again” he cheated again a year later.

We had tried to start a family before our wedding but I had trouble conceiving, in fact, I never did. When I finally asked for a divorce after the second instance of cheating, he did leave and he moved in with the other woman who fell pregnant instantly with his twins. They were engaged before our divorce was complete.

I threw myself into my work, I travelled the world. I did everything I could to feel happy. I have had two relationships since the divorce, both were fine, nothing special.

No I have been single for three years and genuinely still get upset about my divorce. I don’t miss him, I don’t want him back either. I just feel sad that I am forty now, lonely, overweight and wont have a family etc. All the things we planned, he has. I am left with none and I feel trapped by my own sadness.

Can anyone relate? Can anyone tell me how they moved past the grieving stage? It has gone on too long and I want a life that consists of more than Netflix on the sofa. I used to laugh and have hope, now I’m just waiting for life to be over. It’s long and it hurts.
