Married for over 10 years. Working away a lot and over the years meant our relationship was put under a lot of strain.
We went from being the best of friends to worst of enemies! The whole process of divorce is completely destructive and, once solicitors are involved, it is very hard to go back.
Our main aim was to ensure the children were not too affected by the whole experience. I think that both of us, and extended family, ensured that the kids well being came first and they seem to have come through it all well.
I am now happy and I believe my ex is too. My Life AD has brought me a new partner and life has moved on!

Always remember it will get better and don't get too down.

Married over 20yrs two grown up children, it was neither partners fault and for me it is difficult to explain or even really identify where things started to go wrong. But it did and, as a lot of people do in long term relationships, I prolonged it by trying desperately to put things right 'make it as it was'.
Eventually we had to concede that if we were going to live the rest of our life in some form of happiness we had to end the relationship. I can't say it was easy or that I resurrected my life over night.
What I did do was start by trying to concentrate on what was happening now and not look back, make plans for the future, ensure I had things to do, places to go, people to see - and it worked! My Life AD began! I can honestly say that my life's wonderful and I'm enjoying every minute of it.

Live, Love and Laugh as much as you can
