So lost and devastated

It's been just over 3 weeks since my partner of 5 years was arrested and I found out everything. He had hidden that he was arrested and charged in 2022 and was due in court at end of March. Police said that his arrest 3 weeks ago was because he had been speaking to a child online in December. So, to add to charges from 2022 (possession of A,B and C and sexual communication with a child) he now also has new charges of possession and now distribution of A,B and C. He's been held on remand since his arrest 3 weeks ago and is due for his plea hearing soon. I just feel so lost and so so alone. I thought he was the man I would have a life with, get married to, have children with, have a happy future with. We were happy. There were no signs. Now I have to move on alone and figure out how to be on my own for the first time in 5 years. I feel so hurt that he has done this and hidden this from me for our entire relationship. But I also miss him and worry about how he is coping in prison. Can anyone relate to this situation? Has anyone's loved one been held on remand for crimes like these?

I'm so sorry you are going through this. You will feel a whole host of emotions just now and none of them are wrong. You are allowed to grieve the life you were expecting to have and naturally after being with someone for five years you will worry about him and that's ok. It's very hard to just switch that off. Just allow yourself time to process it all. Take care x

Im sorry youre in this possiton. My situation is different but something i have learned is it is a grieving process. You have to grieve the person you thought you knew and loved.

You will be okay you really will.

We grieve the life we thought we were going to have together - and it took me some time to get over that and to see that maybe there was a new future to look forward to
