Anyone in the same boat?

Hi everyone.

I’m struggling at the moment. At the end of June, our marriage was really bad so I flew to the UK to have a break. We’re both British but were living in Dubai.

Whilst on a break, he’s told me that he doesn’t feel the same about me anymore. I’m now stuck in the UK and I feel broken. The last three years have been the worst I didn’t still he would do this.

Does anyone have any tips on how to get over a divorce? I feel so down

It’s not surprising that you feel down. You’ll come through this and when you do you’ll be a much stronger person. It happened to me (long before my stroke) and that’s what I found. So be sad, for a while, then get a plan together of what you’re going to do/need to do.

@Louise_W I’m not surprised you’re feeling a bit down. It’s hard enough when it’s expected but even harder if you weren’t really expecting it. Take time to be sad & upset & deal with each day as it comes. There’s no right or wrong way in these situations. You will find a way through it.

We’re all here for you if you need to reach out.

Sending my best wishes.
