9 months since separation and 4 months since finalized. No infidelity, I ended it because I just didn’t feel like she was willing to improve our situation. No kids and I was the only one working and I was struggling and needed a better balance and felt disregarded.

I don’t regret leaving. In fact post separation her actions drove me further away and made me feel validated. In a lot of ways life is better. It’s still hard right now though. She was my only love and the only person that ever felt like family.

I’m taking a lot of small steps to improve my life and wellbeing and I can see the progress that I have made.

Not looking for advice, I guess I’m just struggling and needing to vent.
