Success stories/When is it time to call it a day?

[bandit0000]

Hi,

I am in the midst (2 and a bit weeks ago) of my H telling me he does not want to be with me anymore. Obviously totally devastated and receiving some wonderful advice from here. He is still living with me at the moment (seperate bedrooms).

Just wondered if there are any success stories about getting back together or when do you decide enough is enough and you have no option but to go along with your Husband or Wife's wishes to split and move on?

I am prepared to give it a while yet (yes I am impatient), but wondered if there were any success stories to give me a boost and a little bit of hope?

Thank you, hope I posted in the right place.

I am so sorry for you two ladies. It it so much worse if you didnt see it coming. 12 Years ago I found out something terrible about my former husband, and had to ask him to leave immediatly. We had been married for 23 years then, and I never suspected a thing. However even though there was no possibility that I could have him back, and that I then spent 6 unhappy years as a single mum of three children, I am now very happily married to a lovely godly man, and have been for over 6 years now.The now adult children all love and respect him, and he is a brilliant dad to them and husband to me.
So just to say that there is life and hope after this awful situation. My faith in God also helped me not to just give up, which I felt like doing many times.
I do know marriages that have survived seperation and other difficulties, if both get to the point of being willing to work at it.
God Bless

I guess success depends on what your interpretation of the word is.

Did I stay with my partner ? No . He completely destroyed the relationship with his behaviours.

However , as with chosen , I'm now much further down the line ( over 4 years ) and happily engaged to a man who loves me and I him. I'd consider that a success.

Divorce doesn't have to be the end of life, it can be a beginning of a better one.

You can only do so much in trying to keep a relationship together , it takes two. But you can take control of your own life and make it happy.

I think it may be worth looking at the thread Dave mentioned.
