      It will be (detail removed by Moderator) in (detail removed by Moderator) and my husband keeps suggesting we go away for the night.
      I really don’t want to. I don’t even want to acknowledge the day. There’s nothing to celebrate, I just feel sad…
      But if I don’t acknowledge it, our children will notice. What do I do.
      I’m finding as the days go by I’m distancing myself further- unintentionally.
      Is this the end?
      I spoke with my mum about a few things and I came to notice that I am never at peace with my husband. Like, watching tv together, falling asleep, going for a walk, my heart is never at peace. And sadly I don’t think it ever will be…
      All of these realisations are breaking my heart. I do love him, of course I do. Marriage and children, over half a life time together… but life is so short and I know I deserve better and I know he can’t give me that.
      I do t know why I’m writing this, just feels better to get it down.
      Thank you for reading. Hope you are all doing ok x

      Can one hundred percent realate I feel the same as u do right now. The thought of getting to end of your life still stuck still trapped is herrendous but It’s finding the strength one day. I hope u are ok.

      Hi, when you break up from a normal healthy relationship it is hard, with an abusive partner…well ..they don’t let you break up/separate….

      If you are sad and have realised that you no longer love your husband maybe have Time apart, could he go.stay with someone?
      I don’t know your story, I do know if you are no longer in love or happy with your partner it is not wrong to leave for happiness, for your own freedom/happiness
      I spent half my life with my husband, I never thought I could leave… well over a year out, a tough year yes but I wouldn’t change a thing, except I wish I had left sooner.
      My husband was controlling, manipulation, coerced forced sex, and lots more….
      Keep posting ❤️ you are allowed to be happy, yes it will make him sad but he will move on.and your child will see a strong mum xx
