wayward19: I ask this question based on my experience in finding out my partner was cheating and discovered it when it was too late to do anything. I moved out of town to get away. I was in shock, unable to think clearly and took a couple of years or so to get a grip of myself. Were you in shock when you left your partner?
Same as what you just described, I think I was numb by the time I was done with it all more than shock though.
Yes i was in shock when he left me. Divorce is just like a death in the family. You go thru the same feelings. Its a terrible thing to deal with, very sad.
I left my ex after his family got violent with me and he just sat and watched (we had been married for 12 years). I had put up with all sorts of rubbish from him and the one time I wanted him to stick up for me, he didn't and it hurt too much and I left, wanting to be the bigger person. For the first few weeks I felt totally shell shocked, I moved far away from him, six weeks after I left, he tells me he's got a new girl friend and they've been together for two weeks (my stuff was still in the bedroom, was waiting for my dad to get it but it was a 7 bedroom flat and he couldn't even bother to move it out of our room before they got jiggy which made me feel totally disgusted).
That was at the end of march, i'm feeling a lot better now and hope to meet a nice guy but it has made me feel a wee bit wary.
No, i was not in shock,i told her to go back to her mother and stay there for good,as the pertnership was not working out,and wasn't the remotest of a chance,ever to work. Shock??? what shock??? Glad i got rid of her.-
Yes i was so shocked that i even forgot to ask her why she was leaving. After she left i had a good buy party for her and that party is still going on for the past four years.
I wasn't in shock. I was very sad because he was a good man but he was also an alcoholic. For my daughter's safety, I had to leave him. I knew he would be alone and I was worried what would happen to him so I offered my friendship to him until the day he died..
I had warning signs and even asked if he was cheating. Once I got over the answer yes, I started making plans to get separated/divorced. The nite he was going his way and I was going mine, I was happy to get into my apt. If a man doesn't love you, that is the way it is going to be. You have to move on because no one deserves a cheater.
it all depends on hoe she /he leaves. 3 years ago my singaporian GF suddenly keft withot a trace, later I fond out that she had a secret relationship with a chinese man while being my lover. yesss women cheat too.

Shocked?? That was the happier day of my life and the best present i got from her was the divorce.
Yes. I was . After being engaged to him and stuff , I found out he cheated on me with a drunk girl from a bar... nice huh...
I caught him in-fraganti, I had his apartment keys that he gave me lol...and he brought this girl back home with him... So, Sunday morning ... I opened the door and ta dah!!... cigarrettes (not my brand!) and girls shoes.
That was it.
Told her to leave , broke up with him , he begged and cried. So did I.
But ... I thought then ... " Do I really want this for my life? If he cheated on me now...why won't he do it again?... Will I really trust him again after this?...."
The answer was "NO". End of the story. I want something better.
Now Im giving myself the chance to get really close to someone.

No shock for me as the person who ever will meet me will never like to loose me
Raynew1959: With my first wife, I wasn't doing too well when she hit me with a separation. I had gone thru a triple by-pass and was going through post-surgery depression because I couldn't do anything for pretty much the entire summer. The separation came about a month after I was able to go back to work. I started a slow spiral downward to the point where it was affecting me at work. When the papers for divorce were handed to my by a sheriff's deputy, I went through so many emotions, I can't remember which ones now. I do remember the anger I felt as she gave me no warning. I grabbed a 2lb sledge hammer and destroyed my wedding band which I had worn until then. I think that if she had been standing there, I would have hit her with that hammer.
With my second wife, I was more disappointed than anything else when we separated a year and a half ago. As of this past Wednesday, she filed for divorce.
bit of bad luck there , timing is everything I hear . Copped it on my birthday , never mind I suppose . 1959 was a good year to be born .
