I was married for 38 years. My husband moved out a few months ago and told me he had someone. In a space of 3 months I lost my job, lost my marriage and now I am losing my house. I feel lost and depressed. I don't know where to go from here. I have no family and no friends. I feel so alone and lonely since I left my home country to be with him. I don't understand how a person falls out of love but continues to live with someone until someone else comes along. What kind of person does that? I'm struggling to understand our whole live together and struggling about my future. I'm going to be alone and depressed for the rest of my life. I am old now and can't start all over again. I am so angry, depressed and alone.

I've been struggling lately on what to do with my life since I no longer have a caregiver role. I decided to write a list of hobbies and things I like to do as a reminder to myself. I encourage you to create your own list of likes/hobbies/or things you'd like to try. Here's a few of my things:Going to the beachTrying new restaurantsMaking lists/planning for the future Road...

People who were alive during 9/11/2001 have a story of how the attacks on the USA impacted their lives. Feel free to share.....I graduated from law school on Sat, Sep 15, 2001 at age 24. Many families did not attend the graduation ceremony because the airplanes were grounded. I was a law clerk for a certain government agency for two years while in law school and was looking forward to a great...
I'm sorry to hear what you're going through, being at ground zero is tough, and you may not be able to get your barring's, for now. You've come to the right place, while I may not have a snappy, quick solution, please be aware that there are many on this site that are experienced and knowledgeable to offer advice and how to proceed.
My own experience has taught me to take small steps and deep breaths.
I've been in your shoes.. lost my husband, my job and my home.. a fresh start. But before you can start you must finish. 38 years is in your favor. Please speak with a lawyer, your cheating ex may feel he has the freedom to move on without consequences.. and he is wrong.
You are protected in many ways because you were married.. take your anger and find out about your rights. Once things move forward and you are truly free of him.. I promise you will feel better. You have been given the blessing of a new life! A gift of freedom to have your own friends, to develop relationships without compromise.. its hard to see the silver lining when your feeling buried in clouds.. but I promise you. A man who jumps from one bed to another.. is not a man worthy of you. - be gentle with yourself, YOU are the one who deserves your love. You are worth fighting for,
I don't know how old you are but I would say it is never too late to start again and meet someone else in the future. My own grandma did this when she was in her 70s and so has my own mum. (following divorce). This is evidence that anything is possible. I do understand a little of how you feel, I am going through divorce now at the age of 40 and the future feels impossible, but I know it will get easier in time....be kind to yourself and please get some advice from CAB and/or a lawyer. Some offer free legal aid or a free one off consultation.
Hugs and best wishes
