If it isn't right, it isn't right. I wish I'd done the same. Now, after 9+ years of marriage, we've ended up in a right old mess. I can't begin to tell you how hard I've tried, for how long. And it is ending in divorce anyway. So, in my opinion, you're better to end it now, if it doesn't feel right. And I know exactly what you mean about wanting peace. Me too. As hard as it is to deal with it all right now, the thing that keeps me sane is the thought that when it's all over, I can be on my own, and find some peace. In the meantime, I have a horrible situation to deal with, and I'm trying to be really calm about it (not easy), look after myself, not rush decisions, etc etc. Trying to work through the mire would be hard on anyone, but combined with fibro it's awful. And I'm really scared that I'm going to have a major flare. But even that will be better than continuing in what has become an unbearable situation.

So be strong, be kind to yourself, and believe that you know what's best for you. And it'll be better for your partner too, rather than spend another 6 months, or 5 years, or whatever, in a doomed relationship!

Good luck with it.

Thanks Fairytails, and I probably will. Right now I think I'm still a bit in shock. We agreed to finally call it a day about 2 weeks ago, and then after that I started finding out all kinds of stuff, that has left me reeling. I think it's starting to sink in more now though - I've been quite tearful today.

And for you too, if you need to let off steam, then contact me.

Take care of yourself.

If it is not meant to be hun then it won't be. But I am assuming making the decision alone has left you low and worn down. But if you feel the decision is the right one then no one can stand in your way or put you down for it. I hope things get better for you and you find the peace of mind you have been searching for xxxxxx

So sorry to hear what's happening Fairytails, but if it's not right for you and you have those feelings, it's probably for the best. You will look back and know you've made the right decision for you, you've thought about it for a long time by the sound of it. You haven't just made a rash decision to quit. You need to move on to live your life the way you feel you need to, which is your right and is fair enough.

Please know that we are here for you always, we understand and will do everything we can to try to help and support you along the way.

Take care my dear. (((hug))) xxx

Hi Fairytails

I am reading this and feeling for you as, although I am a bloke I think that any relationship where one is 'trying to lay down the law' is going to have problems. Both my wife and myself feel that things need talking about, as we do not always see eye to eye but we end up either discussing them or we agree to disagree and carry on.

Life is to short and this is no practice run, what we have is what we make of it, like marriage - for better or worse.

Make it better, maybe you can start again with the dating bit and make the rules for both of you not just the one (although him shouting seems to be the nail in the coffin)

Alternatively start again, go see your friends and family or people you like to see, you are free now so be free and do as you want. All those people who you have not seen because 'he' did not like them, all those old friends that you have lost touch with, get in touch with them (Google their name and follow the links until you find them)

Life is for living and just because you are not well does not mean you have to be a hermit.

Best of luck in the future and kindest regards

Terry

thankyou terry i will discuss it with him but trouble is he said hes not changing he feels im trying to mould him into something else ! maybe i am thats why its not fair on him x

Poor you,if something isn't right in your relationship then staying together is often just another nail in the coffin. Keep strong and remember that nobody knows you better than you know yourself. This is a new phase in your life keep looking forward x

Hi Fairytails I've been in your position & it took me 2 years to pluck up the courage to do anything about. I finally asked my husband to leave, he did'nt want too but things were'nt & had'nt been right for a long time. We where both heartbroken because our son was only 8 at the time.

After he left I beat myself up mentally wondering if I was being selfish & was it fair on my skn. However time gors by & it does get easier. I believe I did do the right thing & my son still had a good life. I am glad I did it.

Good luck & stay strong.

Hugs

am sorry to read of your situation, girls. once you've made the decision, it's best to get it underway. it's tough but so worth it. nobody deserves to be shouted at or made to feel lousy. life is tough enough as it is.

good luck to all of you who are in transition x
