10 year marriage is over. I don't know if I can survive this.
My wife (39f) and I (51f) have been experiencing communication issues for a while and yesterday she told me that she wants to leave to focus on herself with no responsibilities or obligations. Her mental health is not great, bipolar and ptsd, and I am an anxiety ball. We have over the years become completely codependent and I don't know how I'm going to survive this. We are just not in love with each other any more, even though we've tried really hard to fix it and I'm just so incredibly sad and terrified of having to essentially look after myself, keep a house over my head and handle the aftermath of telling our two children (both grown, mine from prior marriage that I ended to be with her). I was her age when we met, experiencing that same apathy with my now ex husband. I'm wracked with guilt that I broke my family apart to be with her, but now she wants to leave. She's already secured somewhere to be, and plans to move out when she returns from work travel in 2 weeks. Please send positive advice and words of encouragement. I have no friends, have just started a new job and can only type my feelings to strangers.
