What He Said Really Hurt

Vent/Rant/FML

At work currently trying to not cry. We have decided to split after almost 6 years together, married 5. Our anniversary was going to be in two weeks. It hasn't even been a week yet since the decision to move forward with divorce.

We have had several issues going for a long time now with no resolve/improvement. It all came to a head earlier this week about an unrelated issue that eventually lead to an argument about the state of out relationship. I brought up divorce and he agreed initially although he doesn't want to anymore already. I'm of course sad about it but I just feel like I can't do this anymore.

I have cried here and there but thought I was doing okay for the most part. Today he tells me that he told his family. They live in another country and have always wanted him to go back but he wanted to stay here with me. His family was never really supportive of our marriage. He said that they were happy because that meant he was finally going to back home and his family is already working on flying him out.

My work is very demanding and time-consuming yet it is all I am able to think about right now.
