I separated from my husband 6 weeks ago. I live in uk do not prenup and it scared me that he can gamble my whole life away. It’s took me years to build but he can ruin it in one press of a button. I’m lucky to be able to talk to my husband still.
I still love him, it has entirely broken me but I try to remember that im strong and doing this to take care of me and my future. I try to remember that it won’t always feel so devastating as it does now but I know that Iv made the right choice.
I consider that I’m always the adult always looking after us but who is looking after me? I was told to imagine how I would feel if I was still in this situation in 5 years? He broke my trust, he lied, his behaviour makes me worry about my own financial security, it makes me feel physically unwell with worry. I do not want to separate from my husband I don’t want to go through this pain but I realise it’s necessary. Good luck to you in making your decisions
