    New Year, New Starts. I hope 2012 is a better one for me.

    I think it's still going to be a rollercoaster, things are very much up in the air again with OH, but I'm ok. I'm coping I'm getting on with MY life with my friends and family supporting me.

    Has something changed then?

    Hi
    Yes things have changed, sadly I am now in start of a divorce. I didn't want it to come to this, but he didn't want to try despite letting me think otherwise for a very long time.
    I am ok, I am very positive and I am in a very good place right now.

    Onwards & Upwards :)

    Sorry that its come to this if its not what you want. I am however really pleased that you are feeling in a much better place in yourself than you did at the start of this. I hope this continues for you - though there are bound to be bumps in the road ahead you know you have the strength to get through

I am glad you are feeling positive...it cant be easy, better days are ahead and you never ever know what is around the corner. xoxo

    I'm also really sorry that it hasn't worked out TooSad. What a wonderful lady you are. I hope you feel a sense of peace knowing that you really gave everything to try to heal the relationship. Much respect to you as a person. I hope times aren't too hard at the moment, and that you're still enjoying swimming, friendship and work.

    Sorry to hear it hasn't worked out, TS. Have a Dubious Hug... :grouphug:

    It may not seem to be the case now, but it helps knowing that you tried everything. It stops the "what if I'd..." thoughts, because you DID and it didn't make a difference IYSWIM...

    So, so sorry that things have not worked out for you and your husband. I don't think anyone could have tried harder or been any more understanding and patient than you. The very best of wishes for the future x
