Two weeks ago, my wife told me that she wanted to separate from me.
We’ve been married for eight years. I’m crushed, and feeling a bit like I’m drowning.

Hey Mike, hadn’t been to your site in awhile so I thought I’d check in, was knocked over when I saw your post, I can’t read the protected entries so I really dunno what’s up but I hope you’re holding up ok hug my husband just recently moved out so I know how you might be feeling =(

Oh my dear God. I know that drowning feeling. It’s so horrible. This time last year my husband was waving around divorce papers and I was meeting “her.” Not quite the same scenario, but similar–and lingering–aches. I’m guessing you have people, but (you know the line) if you need to type to someone….

Mike,
I am so incredibly sorry to hear this. I really don’t know what to say other than you’ll be in my thoughts and prayers. Take care of yourself.

Just read this. Am sorry. Certainly have my empathy. What helped me? Keep positive healthy thoughts and stay focused on yourself - your mental and physical health and happiness. I don’t know if you will find this book of interest but it did help me to evolve and mature past all the negativity surrounding a breakup like this can cause. The book is by David Richo called How to be an adult in relationships. Actually, he has several I would recommend including The Five Things We Cannot Change. Some call it psycho-babble; I call it help when I needed it most and profoundly good mental and spiritual advice of the intellectual kind not the supernatural :o)
