My Intro

Good Morning ?

I know I must have thrown you all off yesterday with my out of the blue survey ? I apologize for that, but it really was a legitimate question and I appreciate all the thoughts. It was exactly on par with what I have been telling her, but I feel like she?s going to forgive him not matter what he says. Hopefully she can get her confidence up and move on.

Anyway ? back to me. I?ve been separated since October/November of 2010. I have a 10yo son who lives with me. We moved about an hour away from where we were so he goes to his dad?s on weekends. We don?t do the typical EOW weekend schedule due to all of my son?s activities, but he sees his dad at least once a weekend.

I decided to separate because before we got married I found out that he had a 9-10month relationship while we were engaged, that I just couldnt get over.  He even moved all of his stuff out of our apartment while I was at work. He later said he wanted to work on things, so I continued to plan the wedding. I found out later he was meeting me for counseling sessions at the church and then going to see her. I knew I shouldn?t marry him, but I guess I felt I had nowhere else to go. He was like a father to my son (who is from a previous relationship). He has no contact with his biological father, and I just felt I had to work things out. After we got married he tried hard for a couple months, and then eventually turned into a mean and controlling person. I got a new job in May 2010 with the Federal govt and I decided I wanted out.

Last September I met an amazing guy who really was everything I wanted. We broke up about 3 weeks ago because he was having some tough times with his dad dying (he?s been in hospice for a couple months now). He said he just felt he had to focus on his parents and his kids. I read all these ladies talk about how they broke up with an amazing guy because it?s what was best for them, and everyone is so supportive. That?s essentially what he did with me, and even though I understand it, it?s still hard and I miss him.

Well that?s my intro ? I hope to be more active now that I don?t have to post under my ?married? screen name anymore.
