Feeling helpless

[Darren74Participant]

My wife of 12 years out of the blue told me that she no longer was in love with me or had any feelings and wanted to separate, I’ve 2 children 6 and 8 who are my world. I’ve never felt so much pain and hurt. I’m not ready to become a single parent.

Hi Daren,

So sorry to hear that. I’m in exactly the same situation. My husband told me ” do you know how difficult it was for me to fake my love for you for all these years” ?( 5 years to be precise)

I’m so not ready to be a single parent but i guess when love is not there, you can’t really keep them attached just because you have kids. I understand his feelings but I’m not sure he understands mine. Such a lonely place to be..but for sure better days will come. For now, look after yourself and stay strong. Make sure you get some good sleep and try not to loose your head. Stay cool, no matter what. The sooner you accept the facts and the situation, the sooner you will feel much better and you’ll find peace.

All the best

Nick
