    I can't advise you, but didn't want to read and run. At times like this I think Facebook is the worst invention on the planet!

    Sending you (((hugs)))

    Not sure you're really asking for advice as you know what you have to do (talk to him) but I'm really feeling for you. ((hugs)) x

    By changing his status to single and removing all your wedding photos, on a forum like facebook of all places, I think that sends a very public message that your husband feels your marriage is over. A nasty and cold way of handling things.

    It must have come as an awful shock to you. Especially as you thought you had both agreed to work through your problems and try to get back on track. If he has decided that your problems could not be resolved and he was going to walk away, then your husband owes it to you to have dealt with this with integrity and broken that news as sensitively as possible.

    Of course it would still be very painful to hear that and to deal with, but you would have been spared all you are going through now and not felt like you had lost any dignity. I think you two need to have a very frank and open discussion about where you go from here.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

    Maybe your husband did this prior to you and him having the discussion to decide to try harder to make it work?

    He could have done it out of anger after an argument as a knee jerk reaction, and then just forgot to change it back. Is he normally an impulsive person?

    It must have been a shock to see that though, my heart goes to you, hope you can work things out.

    Hi Missu,

    Hey you can't assume blindly by looking at the profile in social media...
    Cause media can be useful as well as at the same time it is very dangerous.
    So rather than assuming why don't you directly ask about that profile..

    Regards,
    Jedson.
  • Barring a sensational excuse, that is one of the lowest acts I think I have ever read. 3 years of marriage and he ends it by social media? Absolutely zero respect for you whatsoever and the sooner you can get rid and move on the better.

    I'm so sorry, I can only imagine how you're feeling. Keep that chin up. x

    Facebook really brings out the best in people, doesn't it?

    I hate Facebook with a passion, it's become some sort of virtual substitute for living a real face to face life with actual people. Life is not a computer game!

    I would ask him about it if I were you, don't let things fester. It does sound as if he's taken a decision, yes. It would have shown more respect if he'd told you first though. What a !!!!!!, to put it politely.
