Q: We've Split Up!
asked by: Becky on September 13th, 2006
Especially eHealthy
Me and my husband have split up. Although it will seem out of the blue to you guys it doesn't come as a suprise to me. We haven't been getting on for a while. We have been fighting and arguing alot and we don't communicate anymore.

I never ask him how his days has been as I genuinely have no intrest in what he has to say anymore. Its got to the stage that we are just two strangers living in a house together with our kids. The baby was a mask to our problems but now it is all come to a head.

I can't do it anymore. I can't argue and be miserable in front of my kids. Its not good for them. So I told him it can't work. He's moved back to his mothers.

The thing is I don't even feel upset. Maybe its just delayed shock. The only thing i'm terrified of is being a single mum. I'm scared I won't be able to cope. Like if the babies are crying and stuff.

He said he's still gonna take the kids but I think it will wear off and its not the same anyway.

Its a really terrifying and the future is now so uncertain.

Moral support please!

Thats too bad. Well im used to hearing about this my uncle and aunt have currently split up they said at first "temporarily" but now its been almost a year next month. My uncle has moved back to my grandparents house. All I can say is try to work things out while being apart, but keep in mind you both have probably said things you didnt mean (ie I dont love you), which wont help the situation since you may get back together and then say the oppisite of what you have said (ie I love you) and the other may take it the wrong way (ie do you really mean it). But if things work out then kudos to you, if they dont then they dont. But remember you will have to leave your differences aside at least for the children's sake. Also be flexible with visiting hours for your husband they are his kids as well, and I speak of this out of experience now that my aunt and uncle are split up I only see my cousins for 1-2 hours every sunday when I go over to my grandparents house because my aunt wants them back by 6 pm. And its not like I get to see them at all I walk in the door they say hi and they go back upstairs and play on the computer. If you need someone to talk to im always here, metaphorically speaking. Feel free to pm at any time if you would like to talk.


Good luck

Beck I posted on the preggo board...

I think you guys just need some time away from each other, I think that by allowing each other some freedom you may be able to meet on terms again. Hubby is in the military so when he goes away for his 6mths postings its a breather as well I miss him so bad that when I see him its as if im starting a relationship from new.

I hope things get better, we are always here is you need to vent!!

Awww, you're having such a cr*appy time lately, I really hope things pick up for you. Don't feel that it's anything you've done to make these things happen; life just seems to have a nasty habit of kicking you when you're down sometimes.


Ok it's corny but "you don't get rainbows without rain" - chin up lovey. You'll be ok.

it's weird because I start to like you one minute and then you make posts like this and it just makes me laugh because I think your full of crap. To have that many things happen in the last 2 doing it months is just pathetic and I doubt it's even true.

I think your an attention seeker and you just need to quit sharing your drama with people on the internet, so things like this can be avoided.
