I would first like to thank you all for your support and advice both on the original posting and the PMs i have received, it has helped.

On the weekend i lost it big time and spent most of Sunday an emotional mess holed up in bed with my parents going frantic, but i am now on the up.

He STARTED to move out yesterday,(meant to add that he is now living with her but coming back at present to do his "music" and collect more bits each day until all done, he doesnt seem to be in a hurry to go properly to his new love does he) is doing it bit by bit would you believe and for someone going to the love of his life, i and my neighbours have never seen him look so down. He is no longer staying here but doesnt count on being moved out fully for a month or so. I was really cool,calm and collected whilst he removed a bag of clothers and his CDs. And guess what she has already been asking for more more toward the rent that has supposedley been put up......also would you believe he actually walked across to where i was sitting and kissed me goodbye??!!

Very strangley i felt some sort of calm and relief both last night and this morning and have taken steps to see what financial help i can receive.

ON A EVEN SADDER NOTE: On Tuesday evening an awful tragic accident kind of put things of my situation in to perspective. A long time work colleague and close friend had split from her husband last summer as he was having an affair, house on market etc, she has just started to look happy again getting her life in order. Apparentley on Monday early evening they had called some sort of truce to the ongoing bitterness and calm things down (not a reconcilation i add) she said goodbye to him knowing he was on his way to visit his other woman, a couple of hours later she was notified by the police that he had been killed outright with a head on collision with a lorry which had been on its way to our local shipping port on his way to see the other woman. He was only 29 and i had known him for a long while as well. It happend on a notorious blackspot. So at the age of 27 she is a widow, and not now having the chance to know if they could have ever sorted things out. She also has the other woman trying to interfere with the funeral.

This kind of made me feel rather humbled at what now seems a minor devastation to what she must me going through right now. I have the chance of onward and upward but i cannot even begin to think what she has to contend with.

I thank you all for listening once again. alison
 
Alison - bless you, you sound much more positive and as you say calm, about things now. This is how you will need to be. But don't bottle your emotions up, let em out if you need to. Just not in front of him. Sounds to me like he's already got some regrets, he doesn't sound very happy, but that's of his choosing.
 
I agree with Annie - you have done well. Long term, if he is to discover how he really feels, he needs to feel free to sort himself out.

Your work colleague is in a very tragic situation made worse by the circumstances - emotions will be running so high, and with all the grief and anger everyone will be feeling, it is not going to be easy for anyone.
 
Alison ~ I cannot even bear the thought of how you have been feeling and still are, it sounds like your a very strong person, and i agree with Annie, keeping your emotions to yourself will only do your more damage in the long run, let them out if needs be.
You sound very calmer than your last message,I think he is also having "Doubts" about what he has done, if he is looking very glum faced,I'm sorry you have been put through all this pain :(
Sending my thoughts.

Be strong, But dont bottle all your feelings up, let them out!
Your in my thoughts.
God Bless xxx

Alison you sound so much better now, just sending you more {{{HUGS}}}
 
Alsion, I truly wish you luck on your situation. As far as his moving, I can only relay what DW had said to me many years ago, that if I were to do something stupid, I'd find all my stuff on the front lawn, I wouldn' t have to bother coming in for anything.
And, she's sell my collections.
Hang in there.
 
Alison,

You're coping really well,you should be proud of yourself.

It might be a good idea rather than him string things out by keep popping over for some bits and pieces to ask him nicely to take whatever he wants in one go.He doesn't seem to realise (through his choice) he no longer lives there! It sounds as if he is finding hard to let go himself,allegedly this is what he wanted,he's not acting as if he is 100% sure!

Be strong::yes::
 
I'm very glad to hear you had a few moments of feeling calm. More will come. Here are some extra {{{{{{hugs }}}}}} to help.
 
Keep on hanging in there. Don't worry if you have more bad days - good days will follow.

It's a bit like a rollercoaster. Keep your eyes open, hold on tight and scream when you need to.

A few more {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}.

Dear Alison,

I had something rather the same happen, as I'm sure many women have. I turned 30 with an infant and learned that my husband had been with various other people throughout our short time together. It's been a long haul since I had to toss him out (almost 14 years now - WOW how did that happen), but I get satisfaction just about every day when I think of how great I've done without him. He married the last "cheater" and they've had nothing but problems since then. She's actually called me several times to ask my advice about what to do. They've had children and he continues to do the same things - do they ever change?

I agree with one of the above posters. Ask him to pack up all his stuff in one go and just be on his merry way. This is what he's wanted so this is now what he can have. I wouldn't feel sorry for him one bit.

YOu should be very proud of yourself!! You're holding up beautifully through what is an extremely difficult emotional time.
In 12 months time, when this is more of a memory than a daily occurrence, you'll look back and wonder how you ever did this. You sound like an amazingly strong person - God Bless & good luck to you!!!:wave2:
