Moving on
Notifications OFF
My long marriage ended just before my husband was sent to prison. He was the only person I had been with.
I ended the marriage as I no longer trusted him - there was other stuff apart from this offence.
How do you move on and contemplate a new relationship?
I can see trusting someone new will be difficult
What if they already know what you've been through? Or if they don't - would you tell them?
I feel like I want a bit of fun back in my life - but I'm scared. Although I've got a fabulous support network of friends - they are all in relationships. Would just like some closeness and affection.
Someone on here said why weren't they enough for their person and that has stuck in my head. I wasn't enough for my husband - so why would I be enough for anyone else?
Just voicing my thoughts out loud.

Hi,
you are enough, you always were. Addiction doesn't care about the family and friends of those in its grasp.
I think you might be better starting off as friends with a potential partner. If you find that you trust them enough to open up after a while and it feels right to then do it.
This might feel like it defines you but it doesn't have to. I hope that you find happiness xxx
