Tough situation. Hang in there!

Big hug WInter..... This would be tough..... We're here if you want to vent.... xo

I had about 3 weeks in between telling my spouse I wanted a divorce and having him move out. I had to make him move out. It was very tense and awful. I was able to sleep in a different room but he would come into my room while I was asleep (door didn't have a lock). He also busted boundaries, all the time. If you can, try some mindfulness videos online or listening to apps like calm. I got tired of having to say no to him over and over. It freaked me out how he had no boundaries himself and respected none of mine. Once he moved out, I had a huge sense of relief when I came home from work that night. It sounds like you are moving out and you will have a huge sense of relief. If this is really bad, consider going to an extended stay type of motel/hotel. Or asking a friend can you stay there for a while, even a couple of days will help your stress level.

Thank you all so incredibly much. Your kind words reached out to me when I was feeling especially hopeless and low. Please know that you have made a difference and that I also champion each of you in your ups and downs.
Gardener, your advice and the personal side that you shared gave me such strength. Thank you so much.

Hang in there. Sorry you can't work things out. I know that even though I am sometimes stressed by my wife I am the cause of stress too. It's a struggle managing those times. I know it's not the same but let me know if I could help!!

@Mk1 thank you for your kind words. Sometimes, all we need is a little encouragement. :)

So sorry you have to go through this. Play some happy music. God Bless

@FOF9303 Thank you very much for your warm words. Wishing you all the best.

I am so sorry you are going through this. The stress, the tension, walking on eggshells. I was there 10 years ago. I have no advice but to tough it out until you both have your own place or someone moves out. Do you have friends and family to see? Maybe spend the night with them? It will help temporarily until this is all done.

I don't know the details of the divorce, but are you still sleeping in the same bed? Are you both moving out?

Thank you for your kind understanding. It means a lot at a time like this to know many others have felt this way, though I am also sorry you've had to experience this kind of hardship. My heart goes out to you.
Regarding your questions, I have been reaching out to friends and family quite a lot as a lifeline and it is getting me through the days a bit easier. We share a room/bed, yes, which hasn't been easy. Slowly but surely we are nearing the final stages of this time together and I am thankful.
My very best wishes to you and again, thank you very much for taking some time to help.

My heart out goes to you :) I have been there and know this is tough. I wish I had a better advice to give. It is tough and I dont wish this on anyone.

I did recall now, my ex used to sleep on the sofa some nights. Not sure if that is an option for either of you, but it may help.

You also seem positive on your final stages, and maybe that is what you need to ride? My situation there wasn't a final stage for a long time. It hit last minute when he didn't pay rent and we got evicted. I think had I known that I would have slept better LOL. (I was unemployed at the time)

Absolutely, that helps so much. The nights I just cannot bring myself to crawl into bed with him, I crash downstairs and I have a much better night's sleep than usual.
Your situation is almost too much to bear. I am so thankful that is behind you; he should not have treated you that way - nobody should!

I qm so happy you are getting better sleep on the sofa. :) I hope it helps with some of the tension.

When is the big day?

In two days! I'm getting excited!

Good luck!
