My husband asked me for a divorce 6 months ago. We are currently separated. I moved closer to family, but I'm still in love with him. I think about him daily, and I stalk his social media. I just want to get over him and it feels like I never will. I broke down tonight. It doesn't feel like its getting any easier. I've gone on dates with guys, but I don't feel any attraction or interest whatsoever. I think it's because I'm still in love with my ex. He was my first love and we were married for 7 years. What makes it hard to move on was that we had a great marriage, and were both really happy. We just had a bad year and he fell out of love
Hi Kristen
Im like you. We had a good marriage but he fell for somwone younger and prettier. It hurts and I still love him. I wish he would just come back and we could rebuild. I dont think that will happen and cant wait around for it. I havent been on a date yet but I would love to find someone fun to be with. I feel so broken I guess talking with others going through the same think is comforting.

Gina: Sorry about this. He may leave his current girl someday and move onto someone else - seen this type of behavior before. It is best to start over. Best wishes.
I walk in the exact same shoes. He says im an amazing wife and then cheats. Then he says i deserve a certain kind of man an he doesn't want to try to be that anymore. What do i do with that? Im so depressed.
Kristen: It takes time to get over someone. It may be you need more time before dating again. The courts frown on dating before a divorce is final. My ex moved across the country and started dating shortly before our court date away from the watchful eyes of the court. I really didn't want to date after my divorce and didn't think anyone would want someone in their late 40s and thought everyone was married - well someone found me, no it's not perfect but it's nice to have a companion - been divorced 8 yrs. now. It does get better. Surround yourself with supportive friends and/or family and get counseling if you have insurance to cover it if you feel you are not getting past him. If you still view him on social media, it will take longer to heal, and, worse if he puts a new love on there....best wishes.
