I am a bit shy of posting here. I am getting a divorce but really having trouble with my emotions. I loved him, still love him but we grew apart, have tried several times and we really have to split this time. How do you start living a new life after 23 years? Is anyone else going thru this? Sad. O S

I'm so sorry. Ending a relationship is very hard. Only time heals you. 23 years is a long time to be married. If it is really unbearable therapy might help. divorcing ...

hi sorry to hear that your having a hard time. 23 years is a long time, its like my age! Have you got anyone to talk to about it. Your brother or sister or parents. Or a therapist? Are you in therapy or counselling? This could help. Do you have children maybe you could go to watch a movie. Or get your nails done. Doing something with your kids will show them your love and take your mind off things for a while. Its great that you still love your husband. It must make it incredibly hard though.

I'm in therapy for child abuse. She helps me a lot. My kids know I am leaving but not when, it will be after Christmas to make it easier on them. Thank you for your responses ... money is tight so treating myself is not an option. I am still living in the same house as him right now. My mood just seems to be getting lower and lower ... I appreciate you taking the time to read this, O S.

While D and I never did get divorced, we nearly did. It got to the point where we had EVERYTHING worked out (bills, selling the house, child support/visitation, etc) and all we had to do was see a court moderator to make sure what we had agreed upon was legal. We did end up staying together (though with the issues we are working through, we'll see if we stay together), but it was a hard thing to go through.

Even if there is no one to say "I know EXACTLY how you feel", you will have a lot of support here!
