Alone and confused 

I have never felt more alone in my life. My husband of 2+ years walked out on me 6 weeks ago. He left me with our new home, our dog... he left with just the clothes on his back. If he knew how to communicate with me, maybe I would know why he left. The last few months he distanced himself from me to the point where we were barely speaking, and when I brought up the marriage he would completely ignore me. My once wonderful husband became arrogant and sarcastic at the drop of a hat. I've determined that he must be going through a midlife crises..but at the age of 32??  This would not be half as difficult for me if we had had problems to begin with, because then in my own mind I could justify him leaving. It's like he just woke up one day and snapped. He won't even consider marriage counseling. How can someone cut their spouse off emotionally so quickly? How can you not be willing to at least give a 2 year marriage a fair chance by trying therapy and THEN deciding if it is salvagable or not? He is not coming back. He told me that we are both still young enough to start over...the man I thought I would have children with and grow old with. He has told me I need to get used to being alone. I'm beginning to accept it I think.. the shock is wearing off and now i just feel stuck (for lack of a better word.) The only thing that keeps me going is my work and my dog. I'm not even able to have hope..it dwindles away with every nasty comment he says to me. And of course everywhere I go I see couples..and couples with children...and they all seem so happy... I can't speak to anyone about my separation.. for some reason I feel ashamed of my failed marriage. I feel so alone.

Don't you dare feel ashamed. You have not done anything wrong. Life Happens. If this Global Economic Crisis has taught all of us anything--it is that "We All Fall Down Sometime--But We Get Up." My husband left me 6 months ago, packed his moving van up in front of our small cul de sac where all my nosy neighbors could see. I felt so ashamed at first, that all these people would know that my marriage failed--that my husband left me. I just knew that they stood around gossiping about me.

 Months later, and I have long since realized that I don't give a damn what they think of me. Yes my husband left me--Big Shit. The guy across the street lost his business and will soon lose his house. The couple down the block are facing foreclosure. We are all faced with challenges and obstacles in life, some more publicly than others that's all. If I can hold my head up high and smile so can you sweety, because I promise you it will get better. I promise.

We have all felt the same way.  Don't focus on the reason why he left.  Trust me it will drive you insane because sometimes the reason isn't easy to explain.  Half the time I don't think they know why they leave or left.  I finally realized and I hope this helps that the one fact I knew was he left.  The reasons behind it were varied each time we talk, and like yours he could be nasty.  So cut that off, don't allow him to bring you down and damage your self-esteem which is already bruised because he left. 

You need to focus on you and your dogs.  I did this but allowed outside things to invade my recovery.  Don't focus on what he is doing focus on yourself.  Get yourself a routine and stick with it. 

Its about you right now take care of yourself, and use this site to vent it really does help.  Keep a journal and write all your feelings and emotions in it.  I set myself a 30 minute time period to do this so I didn't dwell over things for hrs it does help.

You're not alone.  Trust me when I tell you that practically every member of this site has been in your shoes, and has felt like you do right now.

I know what you mean when you talk about it seeming like he snapped.  It's like someone threw a switch, and the person you knew no longer exists.

You have nothing to feel ashamed about.  I felt the same way at first.  It took me a long time and a lot of beating over the head by some friends to show me that I wasn't the failure and had nothing to be ashamed of.

Keep blogging and venting here.  It really does help, although right now it might now seem like it.

There are an amazing bunch of people on this site, and they not only offer great advice, but truly care.
