Well, the man I've been living with for 10 years told me this morning that he wants to split up. It wasn't a total surprise, since he had been acting strange for awhile, but for him to never mention his problems, just to decide without me, really hurts. I'm not really asking a question here, I just needed to say this to someone.

Thanks for reading this.

Wow, what a thing to wake up to! I am sorry to hear this, do you think it is just a little time apart that you both need? Or does it seem like it is time to move on? I know, "shutup", but I was just wondering where in this relationship you were, so perhaps I could offer better advice and/or consolation. Otherwise, I just want to send you a "Big Hug" and let you know I am here, you can also PM, me too.
Please take care

Thanks all of you for your hugs and kind thoughts. I don't think this is going to be a "time apart" thing - he seems to have made up his mind, and if he's not even willing to work on it, there's nothing I can do to keep him here.

It's strange...for awhile now I've had all these feelings that there was a big change coming in my life...well, this is a pretty big change. And I know I'll get through it, but it sure does hurt.

mj,

Not really anything I can say that will help, but you know we'll all be here when you need us. I'll keep you close in my heart and my thoughts.

Much love,
bp

bp and Zen, thanks for the love...you know, one thing that struck me as I reached out to people in my hurt, is that I've received more offers of help and hugs and caring in ten hours yesterday than I have from him in almost two years. My one friend even went so far as to offer to leave her guests at her Labor Day barbeque to come be with me. So, even though I'm still hurt and shocked, I actually have this rather warm and fuzzy feeling, too, because of all the terrific people I know.

Thanks to everyone here for being among them. : )
