Unwanted Marriage Separation

[NENA]

Hello! I am new to this and I do not know if many people get into this threads or whatever. Anyways, I am going through a separation from my husband, he decided to leave after 9 years of us being together. I am totally heart broken and suffer from major anxiety due to the circumstances. I feel lost and cannot fathom life without him. I have been able to survive a month without him(I do not know how), but I still hurt not being with him. I need advise on how to overcome this pain. Thanks for your time. Nena

Welcome to Lifesupporters, Nena.

The very first positive thing I can say is that you have already survived a month on your own and that is huge!

Often people lose themselves in their partner and are doubly bereft when that partner leaves. Even though it's heartwrenching for you right now, what you can try is see your own strengths and how you survived before you met him or began a relationship with him. Each small step that you try, while grieving for your relationship, will help you move on.

This is a good place to post your thoughts and feelings as you go through your journey onward.

Hello Nena and welcome to Lifesupporters. I am sorry for your circumstances but you aren't alone. It is a very difficult thing to go through but it is a "one step at a time" thing. Time will make it better but in the mean time find things you enjoy doing; go out with close friends, to the movies or dinner or drinks. One day you will realize you can stand on your own two feet without him or any man. Take care and I hope you feel better soon.
