We are only 6 months post knock but our ages and length of marriage are almost identical. We all need to do what feels right for us at the time. Personally, I feel that my husband's actions have destroyed our future together. We were on the brink of retirement 'to spend more time together' but that situation is no longer at all attractive to me. Think about what you want. It will be a bit of an emotional roller coaster but look after number 1.



Lots of best wishes and hugs
