New year, new life ahead!

Your ex will be the loser here, his new love likely won't last 5 min but you have a whole new life worth living stretching ahead of you. Wishing you all the best as you walk into your new life with head held high. Hope you've good friends and family around to support you in any of the not-so-good days you will inevitably have.

I agree, all the very best for the future- he will regret his actions but it may take some time to discover that the grass is not greener on the other side. He may want to crawl back home but hopefully you will have a full life without him in it. He is a total s* choosing that day to walk out.

All the best for the future, a new beginning for a very brave woman.

What a wonderful, brave attitude. I'm totally convinced that a women like you will indeed embrace your new life and new start and wish you a happy release.

Having gone straight from home to marriage I was terrified of being alone. But you're right it is a whole new life and an exciting one too! Best of luck. With your positive attitude I'm sure it will be a great success?

A great positive attitude madaboutbooks, your life can only get better now without those stresses and worries. Of course there will be a few bumps along the way but you can enjoy a new life doing all the things you want to do. I had several years living alone and it changed things a lot for me, in a good way. Hope 2017 brings you peace and happiness.

With new adventures, making new memories and new friends. That's the way to go.

The night my husband told me he didn't love me any more and was leaving with my friend I thought I would die, but I live to tell the tale and wish you all the luck in the world getting your life back. I was reduced to gibbering and panic – and the striking, crushing thing was that he didn't care; he had stopped caring what I felt about anything: that was the point. He went off next morning on business, as planned, and I made arrangements to move out.

For the first week I was weeping more or less without stopping. I did it while crossing the park and walking down the street. I wailed my way about town and sobbed in checkout queues. I lost all social embarrassment! But it passes and life gets better, truly it does. It's tough, but you are right, he's done you a massive favour.

The grass on the other side isn't always greener btw, but you won't care by then as you will be in a far better place! xx

Wishing you all the best for your 'brand new life' x

That was harsh of him leaving on Christmas Day. All the best for the future. Do you have children? I hope you have supportive friends too.xx

the future looks bright
Well done you!
Onwards and upwards
