Hang in there Tammi. I'm in the same boat and I keep telling myself. I can only get better from here.

You are loosing half of yourself. That is what marriage is. Now He wants to cut it apart, and you get to deal with the pain :-(

I am so sorry. Crying is miserable, but necessary. It proves that you are Human and have a Heart.

(((Hugs)))

I am so sorry. I am here for you, if you want to talk. If you need to talk now, I will give you my number.

Your friend,

i know exactly how you feel & it freakin' SUCKS! unfortunately there's not much that anyone can say right now that's going to make this much better for you. i find myself ranging the gamut from wondering how i could have wasted so much time on such a callous, cruel, heartless SOB and how i will live without him. hmmmm... j geils is right...love stinks.

Sheesh Tammi! That all sounds very familiar! I wish I had the answers or at least some suggestion to help you deal with what youre feeling. All I can say is that I certainly identify with what youre feeling and going through. There are about a million and one words that describe how you feel. Unfortunately, none of the words lead to understanding, only more questions. I feel your pain, Tammi.

Go ahead and cry. There's no rule book for when it's acceptable or not. Your pain is your own.

Tammi, unfortunately you don't have the option of curling up. You are a woman and a mother. I know your heart is broken but please remember that your daughters' hearts are also hurting. Be their mother and show them how to hold themselves as strong women. If you fall apart so will they. Trust me you do not want this for your young ones. Take your life into your hands. He has given you the direction he wants for his life. You figure out what you want and what you don't want. Do not let him dictate your life for you. he is out for himself, now you do the same thing. Your heart is broken , not your life. Please do not give ANYONE that power over you. Come up with a plan and plan to empower yourself. Your heartache has just began. Do something about it NOW. What are you gonna do financially when he leaves? Don't allow something to happen that you could prevent.

Its okay to cry. I understand the pain is tremendous. Try not to in front of your girls,it will make them scared. But its okay to have all the emotions your having. I'm into it 6 months and I have no more tears, just working on me.
