Mary,
I am sorry to hear that you feel so alone, but I am glad that you found this site, there are many caring woman here who will help you to get through your pain, and you will get through this! Wishing you the best, hope to hear from you again.

He is an idiot. Be prepared for her to get all she can from him and then leave. You be prepared for him to beg you to take him back. I give them 9 months or so but by then you will find yourself so much happier and can tell him to jump in the nearest lake.

Comfort yourself in knowing everyone around you thinks he is a fool.

You will do great! Try to not focus on him or them and focus on you. Do things that make you feel better and pretty and happy. The ladies here can give you all kinds of ideas.

I hope you got the house and most of the money. Let them live in a love shack and hopefully she will have to work 2 jobs to support them. If that is the case, then I give them 3 weeks! ha ha

It is going to be ok.
SAM

I agree with SAM. Let them self destruct and ENJOY life!!!!

Hi Mary,
write a list of all the things you wanted to do but simply didnt. Theres no one to sit on any of your ideas no matter how crazy.

Nothing you choose to do has to be ok'd by anyone, enjoy the freedom.

The ladies on here will inspire you, listen to you and support you and understand you. Stay around.
You will survive this.

Mary, I feel your pain, but you are not single, you are INDEPENDENT! and now is your time to shine. As hard as it seems right now, the ladies on this site are here 100% for you. Trust that you are worth far more than he ever was. Love, laugh, live and don't stay home alone, its not healthy. My neighbours wantedt buy me a cat, even though I have 2 dogs, sounds funny, but cats cuddle, comfort and do not care if you cry for no apparent reason. Animals love unconditionally, and its a shame cheating husbands are not the same. Take care you will make it.

Mary, I can really sympathise with you. I am just coming out of a long marriage 34yrs. Those days of feeling alone, can get you down. But we are going to get over it ! Who wants a guy like that any way? How could we ever trust them again? We cant. We are better than that, we deserve better than that! I am through being a door mat to anyone ! how bout you?
