Default Well here I am

It is now all official, Matt & I are splitting up.

He just no longer loves me as a Wife so feels it is best that we part. This does not mean we will part from each others lives. We are best friends and that is where he does love me as a best friend.

So now goes the long ol process of putting the house on the market. Matt is going to buy a new house but I am going to have to rent as I don't earn enough to get a mortgage. But that won't be straight away as I have decided to go to Australia for a month after the house is sold (well that is if my auntie will have me). This will help me to clear my head and prepare me for what is to come ahead.

We are not getting divorced or anything so you never know we could get back together in the future.

This week he has gone to stay at his parents and then he will be back home.

We are getting on just as we have done in the past(apart from he is now in the spare room), which is kinda strange but I like to have him near me as much as possible cos I know it is going to be so hard when we finally part.

I hope that my child, looking back on today
Will remember a mother who had time to play;
Because children grow up while you're not looking,
There are years ahead for cleaning and cooking.
So, quiet now cobwebs go to sleep.
I'm nursing my baby, and babies don't keep.

I know there isn't anything I can say but didn't want to read and run. And for what my opinion is worth I think a trip to Australia sounds like a good idea.

Do take the time to chill and make plans once you are in Australia.

Sorry to hear this Karen!

All break ups are totally heartbreaking but its really nice that you think you will remain close friends.

Hope your time in Oz will help you come to terms with it all and clear your head!

Awwww sweetheart I am so very sorry to hear your news. Australia sounds like a fine idea so you can get away for a few weeks to chill & get some me time.

You know where I am if you need an ear.

Lots of love xx

You can work through this Karen. It may surprise you, but many marriages go through the "I only love you as a friend" stage, but come through the other side. It takes a hell of a lot of effort to get it back to being in love, and heaps of committment from both parties. I guess it just depends whether the both of you are committed enough to do this. It's certainly not all hearts and flowers all the time, as we all know, but you shouldn't take what he's feeling now as a forever feeling - with some work you can possibly get things back on track - unless of course, "falling out of love" is an excuse for something else. Not that I'm saying it is.

Please don't take this as the end of anything. Consider seeing a marriage counselling service, whether together or individually.
