    • About Me

      I left my emotionally abusive husband Feb '09 and divorced him June '09 - we had been together for 13 years. I am trying to focus on myself and get over the tremendous feelings of guilt and doubt.

    • Hug

      From Andrearshavin Saturday

      Hi, I agree with all the other comments on your post but . . .
      Has he been to counselling to improve ? He is offering to live anywhere this may be a sign he is changing. Since June to now might not be enough time to change but he may be on the right road. Are you much stronger now or still working on it ?
      In my situation also since June we have both been working on our individual issues but have loads still left to achieve, some of this we are now doing jointly and it is getting easier.

      Good luck
