...See more About 8 months ago, I left my husband and told him I wanted a divorce. I now live states away and we’re meeting to sign the papers next week… We had a whole family of pets together and even tried for a baby (but we came across some infertility issues). Near the time I told him I was leaving him, he actually told me he didn’t want to try for a baby anymore because he wanted to live his life to the fullest before having kids. Mind you, we were together for 6 years, had a house and pets, and were financially stable to the point where I didn’t have to work and we could do what we wanted without having to worry about funds. This really hurt me because I had been through a lot. It felt like I was on my own after trying month and month again for a positive test. Another reason I wanted to leave was because a lot of times, my husband expressed his feelings with anger. He would throw things and yell, but he would never physically hurt me. I was never comfortable with this, and we talked about it multiple times, but he never changed or seemed to put an effort to change. Since leaving him, I actually found someone else and I’m in a relationship now. He’s so sweet to me, and has never yelled or even cussed at me. He’s actually been through the same stuff I have in his previous relationship, although they were never married. I love him so much… but now, I’m more sad about hurting my ex. We were together for so long and have so many memories, good and bad. I know no one can tell me that I’m doing the right thing, but how do you cope? I think the divorce is what’s best, but my life is so stressful now and I think I miss having the stability and I miss my old life… I just don’t know if I miss my husband. TLDR: I’m divorcing my husband but I miss my old life with him, just not him. How do you cope?
