I ended a 20 year relationship almost a year ago. This past year there was constant arguing. I think this virus made things Worse. He been controlling coming over criticizing how things are in my house, worrying too much about my health it’s been affecting my health, I’m diabetic. He wouldn’t go to counseling with me, one person cannot fix a relationship, he said he still loved me, he’s too Lazy to go and doesn’t like change. I know I did the right thing. After 20 years can’t help but still have feelings for him. Today is his Birthday 🎂. Been eating my feelings away. Any ideas how to get through it? Thanks 😌

Wow that was very strong and brave of you to end a 20 year relationship that could not of been easy!!

Being with someone for that long your obviously going to feel emotions and feelings its a very long time and you don't switch youre feelings off overnight that takes time...look at it this way youve come this far im sure you can get passed one night...but don't be to hard on yourself if you can't youre only human sweetheart..do you not stay friends or contact eachother since

No, he has with my kids, and he’s been a grandfather figure to my grandson he was there since his birth so my grandson misses him too. He does on occasion visit him. I miss him But Not the arguing.? I got anxiety when he called cause I knew it was going to end up in a argument. I think the virus brought it to a head? 🙏😷 My Kids Blame Me.
