Long & Windy Road to Separation

My husband of 33 years is about to leave, to go off and have one more great adventure, as he refers to it (walk out on me and his grown children, as I call it) and I'm divorcing him, as I'm not going to sit around and wait to see if he comes back. This planned separation has been on hold since December, due to our daughter being pregnant, his mother needing to enter a nursing home, etc. and is winding down now with a little more than 3 weeks left to go. I hope I can hold it together that long and not drop the heaviest rock I can carry through the windshield of his car. Also, it is now my fault that our ten-year old dog is going to have to go - either with him, or to doggie heaven. The dog was never my dog, it was his, even though I was the one who found it at a shelter, it never loved me. And, it behaves horribly with the grandchildren, scares them actually with its shrill barking, I can't control it myself. He should take it with and not blame me if he's going someplace that doesn't allow dogs. Well, I do feel bad about this - anyone want a 10-year old dog that isn't good with children? It makes a reasonably good watch dog. All serious offers considered.

You`re right..it´s a long and windy road..but it can lead to some heights and mountain tops too..the thing is to hang in there and somehow believe in yourself..
I seperated and then divorced my husband after 32yrs of marriage. No, I wasn´t out for adventure..but I have actually experienced some along the way. And yes, the way is tough..but somehow worth it anyway.
I am sure you will find help and comfort here. It´s a wonderful place to be when things get tough. So..do write when you feel like it or need to. We are here for you!

Big hugs, Iris. It's tough and we're here for you. Perhaps it's time to start planning your own adventure!

Well, isn't that nice of him to go on a his adventure! Some men never grow up. Mine walked out on me and the kids on Christmas Eve. He did it twice and the second time, I told him to stay gone. It hurt and I lost a ton of weight and was an emotional wreck for months but I got through it and today, I'm glad he left. I'm extremely happy now.
