I am new to this site, having just been referred by a friend since my marriage is about to collapse. I have been married for eight years and we have three sons under seven. My wife is leaving me becsause I have some minor disability, although I was diagnosed before we married. It seems very much that now she has a house, kids and financial support, she doesn't need a husband. She was a foreign national so she also got a British passport out of the deal. 'Self seeking' doesn't even begin to explain it.
I'm not looking for advice at this stage, just some empathy, I suppose, and to introduce myself as I sense that I will become a frequent visitor. Ironically, I have had trouble with women all my life and thought when I got married that I would find stability. 'Life's a [censored] and then you marry one.
Hi there and welcome
I can see that you are hurting and really bitter but please use us to seek some solace - great place to rant and you'll get some sound advice.
There will be a number of people in the same boat so do feel free to post
Hi there,
Seems like you have a long journey ahead of you.
Hopefully you will be able to gain information you need from us as and when you need it.

Thanks for the replies. Actually, I think the situation is developing reasonably well. It's certainly not as bad as some experiences that people are having. We are selling houses to buy ones to live in. Not living with my wife will be a blessing but I'll miss seing my three boys all the time.
