For 19 years that wedding ring has been on my finger and now I just wear the impression it has left on my finger.

My wife told me on Sunday she doesn’t love me, like that, anymore and I’ve been in a world of hurt.

I drank a lot of alcohol and slept a lot to try and numb the pain and forget.

I kept pinching myself hoping this was just a nightmare.

Now we have had a chance to talk it’s definitely over and there is no fixing it.

Thank you all for your messages. I felt a bit weird posting this on social media but I normally am quite public via my monthly and yearly review posts.

I don’t think it’s all quite sunk in yet as it’s one sided and I still love my wife - I don’t hate her, timing wasn’t great so close to Xmas but she’s been holding this in for a while it seems and it was affecting her health.

Thanks for letting me share. 🖤

@juanfernandes This was exactly me about 3 years ago. Just stay strong and be kind to yourself. You will see better days.
@harish thank you. I’m sorry you have also gone through this. 🖤
@juanfernandes sorry to hear you're going through this

Thanks for all your kind messages and sharing your own stories with me. Really appreciated. 🖤

I’m still hurting and angry but slowly accepting it for what it is.

@juanfernandes I'm really sorry to hear that, Juan :(
@juanfernandes sorry to hear this Juan <3
@juanfernandes I'm so sorry, Juan :(

@juanfernandes so sorry to read this Juan. It might not seem like it now, but it will get better, I promise you. I went through the same thing with my ex-wife in March of this year. Both very unhappy (weren’t right for each other) but drifted along for too long without doing anything about it.

But, I was able to move on and found the love of my life with whom I’ve been together for the past 6 months.

Hang in there. It will pass. And we’re here if you need us ❤️

@juanfernandes Oh Juan. I’m so sorry. I don’t know what to say. Will be thinking of you today. Stay strong. Believe in yourself.
@juanfernandes *hugs* be kind to yourself, it's a tough process
@juanfernandes thanks for sharing. I think we’re pretty far from each other but if you ever fancy a pint in London give me a shout and we can shoot the shit, as they say
