Ok so me and my wife had that talk this week in which she said she loves me but isn't in love with me and wants to end relationship. Now because if Christmas, kids and money I can't move out till feb which is going to be fun. The problem is I am getting older, not the best looking and generally skint so am getting really worried that I may never find anyone again. Just don't know what to do anymore. Sorry for going on a bit just have not been able to talk to anyone

sorry from your profile it sounded more like a fuck buddy when you referred to a partner that you could occasionally meet up with rather than your wife.

still splitting up with a loved one over crimbo cant be nice, so good luck with everything. Chin up

Have you suggested going to Relate?

I must say it is very hard to advise on marriage difficulties when we don't know the root problem/s.

Which for your wife could well be different to what you think it is.

I would like to also say that being on here as a single man, is not a good sign for a previously happily married couple eg the cracks must have already been there for both of you to have your own profiles and act independently.

I know it is very hard for you but imo no one should ever stay together for the sake of children it will only make their life a misery and be noticeable for them.

Unhappy parents with their life or circumstances will reflect in your child's happiness so take comfort in the fact going forward I believe your children will get the best out of both parents if they are happier apart.

Finally good luck and don't dwell, live is for living and being happy, not for regret.

You can't make anyone love you but be assured at 34 you have many years to find the love of your life.

As your wife is on here too, will she be joining in this thread? Could get quite messy !

Not sure this is the best place for this discussion

You are never too old to find someone to share your life with. I'm 51 and have met the most wonderful woman and have a bright future to look forward to. Be positive and good things will happen.

Children are extremely resilient and will bounce back, they will feel the tension and so be better off.

Just remember to keep being there for them and sort out seeing them regularly.

Again not knowing your circumstances I can't advise in housing as not sure if you are a home owner or council or renting?

Financial implications will need to be addressed first.

It is a very stressful and worrying time. Take little steps to get through thsi, as looking at the whole picture and all that a break up entails can feel all consuming.

I hope it all works out for you

Now speaking from experience I would rather my ex had left before xmas not after. He said he stayed because he did not want to ruin xmas. Well as far as I am concerned he ruined it anyway because when he up and left suddenly 8 days after xmas it made our last christmas as a family a complete farce.

Im sure a lot of people will try to give you advice.

As others have said is there no way you can try a marriage councellor in the hopes that you maybe able heal the marriage.

Christmas is always a fraught time for family life.

See if you can find some common ground between you as you still have children to consider regardless of their ages.

If there is no chance of sorting this then all you can do is to make sure your both good parents and try to find some reasonable ground between both of you in relation to them.

I do hope you both manage to sort things out.

Good luck to both of you.

My ex husband ended our marriage at Christmas and have hated this time of year ever since.

As fusion said before we met on here and my life has changed. I am 41 now and he is 51, I never expected to meet a man that I would trust to form a life with them and then I met fusion.

I wanted to do relate etc but the ex didnt want to as the marriage was over (he had decided this) and money wasnt there for relate etc. My life ended for about 7 years.

Fab and swinging gave me a new more fun life but was never happy until I met fusion.

I had 2 young children (his are adult) and money problems and also anti relationship but we still fell in love. So please dont feel that its all over as it isnt. I know, I have been there and fell into depression very quickly.

Your life isnt over. It may just be in a period of adjustment.

My ex lived in the house with me for 6 months til he got money to move out, it killed me almost but 7 years on all is fine now.

Take the time to take small baby steps and your life will continue

I honestly don't think you are sad about the break up.

You haven't mentioned her once.

All you mention is that you are worried you can't get the next one in.

People don't even replace dogs that quickly.

Heartbreak my ass.

P.S. Hope you get back together and live happily ever after.

What about taking some time out from here, both of you?

You need to explore your feelings about her, splitting up etc and I think that being on here will only confuse and muddy the waters more.

For the record, you are not ugly and you are a nice gy doe when ten time comes you will find someone else. Perhaps now is bot the right time to worry about the next partner. You have more immediate things to sort out.

Chin up, chest out shoulders back, and stand proud!

I know exactly how you feel as I went through the same thing a few months back. Still getting everything sorted with the house etc, and suppose am lucky there were no kids. Feel for you, but where there's life there's hope. You are still young (I am 9 years older) and as long as you keep plodding on, you will get through it.

If you need someone to talk to who knows what you are going through, feel free to pm me.

If not, no probs, but remember that there are lots of people on here who can offer you help and advice.

Good luck and stay positive, even though it may seem impossible - eventually you'll be positive without trying. Then you will know you are moving on.
