It's been a week and a half since my xWH moved out. Because of family-of-origin issues, I no longer talk to any of my family, and my WH was the last person in my life who I've known for a long time. We met as teenagers. He knows everything about my life, my family, etc. We share so many memories together. I've known him for more of my life than I haven't known him.
I have nobody who knows anything about me anymore. I'm just feeling really sad about this realization and need to get it out.
I know it will get better eventually and that I'm better off, so I'm not looking for anyone to tell me that. I just need to sit with my grief right now with others who understand. Thanks for listening.

Csaiht- Have you looked into local divorce help groups? Many churches offer this. This might be a safe space for you to connect with people locally who are going through you are experiencing.

Thanks to you both.
I have not looked into local divorce groups, but I keep meaning to do that. It's extra hard trying to build a new life & connect with people in the middle of a pandemic.

I very much feel this. My husband moved out (for the 2nd time) right before our 30 year anniversary. I've known him longer than anyone. He was my best friend (so I thought), it's really hard to trunkate my realization to match his. I feel lonely and desolate, and yet not remotely willing to have him back. All I can say is that I understand your pain, I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

Sorry, someone tell me how to undo a post so that it doesn't happen twice?

I am so sorry you are going through this. Hugs
My husband walked out on our family, after I caught him messaging the OW, on 11 Aug, exactly one month before our 17th Wedding Anniversary.
He too was my best friend and it breaks my heart he now thinks our marriage was a mistake because the OW says so.
She is going through her second divorce and apparently he thinks she gives sound advise.
