I knew two ladies (in their 50’s/60’s) whose husbands left them for a sweet young thing. Both were devastated, but they went to work & gradually re-built their lives. After awhile, they realized they were happier. They had total control of their lives & money. And their exes ended up much worse off, not that they were happy (in a vengeful way) about it.
Yours is a different situation, but there is hope. Depression is a very difficult thing to deal with (I know, it’s one I’ve had problems with). Your husband may find relief & realize he still needs you. But if that doesn’t happen, life is still good & you will survive. Something I was amazed to discover myself!
Thanks for the reply, Twotone. I’m glad your friends are happy and doing so well.
I hope you find relief from your depression. I know from experience that it destroys lives and families. I will keep you in my prayers. If my soon to be ex ever gets relief, I don’t know that I would go back. Some bridges that burn can’t be rebuilt. He was very cruel when telling me he didn’t love me anymore and I will leave it at that.
