Covid takes another-my marriage

I'm so sorry.
He must feel as if he has no control over anything anymore and maybe this is the one thing he can control. Hugs to you all no matter what happens, we're all here for you!

I'm so sorry that you're going through this.

Maybe COVID has helped you both to see that your marriage should end. However, these are not normal times and I wouldn't want to make a huge decision about the future based on the last 18 months.

Every marriage has its own story, but here is ours: DH and I are also a teacher/healthcare pair. We have realized our communication has suffered as we both have had huge changes in our jobs and have been much more stressed, working longer hours, and sleep schedules are messed up. We have blurred the lines between our work and home lives in an unhealthy way. And, we haven't done as much of the fun activities that bring us closer. So, we have some work to do. Talking about what is different now has helped us find a way forward.  I wish you peace with whatever you decide.

I have no words for the shock you are feeling....and little to offer of comfort.

Please read all the threads from the peas on how to protect yourself during this difficult time.
If possible, try to get your DH into counseling to understand how he came to this decision.

I'm so sorry. Sending hugs.

I'm very, very sorry. You have both been through the wringer. I really hope you'll take care of yourself and protect yourself, and also that he'll come around to his senses if that's the best thing for your marriage. Big hugs to you.

I'm really sorry to hear that! How old is your youngest?

Reeling for you!  So very sorry! Sending lots of hugs!!!

I am so sorry. Hugs.

Oh, I am so sorry. It has been a very tough time, and I am sorry to hear that your marriage has suffered. I hope you have lots of support to navigate this difficult road ahead.

I am sorry. Hugs.

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry to read this. It must have been devastating for you to hear this.

I echo what many others have said already about seeking counselling. There's no denying that this virus has had a terrible affect on a number of people, not only physical but mentally too. Your DH ( and you) have been under a lot of stress lately with his job and your recent bereavement. People make some irrational decisions when things get on top of them and very often they regret them later.  I'm hoping that this might be the case for your DH. Look after yourself but take a moment to reflect on what you both  really want with the help of counselling before any rash decisions are finally made. Sending you (((hugs))) 

Oh - how awful. I'm so sorry.

I add m just seeing this thread. I am so sorry to hear this. Hugs to you.

You're a strong woman and you have a really good head on your shoulders. You're going to get through this.

Hugs
