Newly separated

Heartbroken

Hi to anyone out there. My husband and I mutually agreed to separate on January 1, 2020. We still live in the same house and are trying our best to remain the best friends that we feel we are. Although for a long time I wanted to separate (and him but I didn’t know it until we went to counselling), I don’t like change and am having a real hard time. He went on a date on Saturday and again Tuesday night. I feel devastated. I am confused about why it is bothering me so much if I wanted to separate. My heart starts racing and I feel so incredibly sad when I think about him with someone else. We talked last night and he may move out September 1. We both don’t want that because he wants to be at our home, but are we making things harder and prolonging the emotions by staying in the same house? I hate this so much!

I also just wanted to say that we have been together for 30+ years.

It is so hard… of course you feel devastated. It is such a tough time.. but stay strong!
