I asked him to leave

I asked my husband of 9 years to leave last night. He knows I have been thinking about it for sometime and that I'm possibly sufferering from depression. Still didn't prepare him for the shock and heartache of it becoming a reality.

We have 3 kids 7,5 and 11 months and I'm trying to do the right thing for everyone by keeping all lines of communication open to ease any pain from the seperation of the kids from their father.

I'm at a time in my life where I need to focus on myself, and I know that I am quite capable of being alone ( not in a relationship) and a great mother to my kids.

I want my husband to be the best he can be as well, happy and self confident for himself and for the kids.

Please tell me that this initial pain and shock will ease over time as I still feel guilty for hurting him so badly.

He is still so in love and in need of me, but I had moved on in my mind long before.

I am seeing a psychologist to help me through and I think he will too, I have suggested it to him.

Just need some words of support and comfort in this difficult time.

Any break up is hard, of course it is. He will heal, just like you will and you will both go on to have happy, fullfilling lives.
