I don’t recognize the spouse I’ve known for a quarter of a century. I saw weird behaviors and signs leading up to this but wrote it off as a midlife crisis or this 2020 global stress. Discovered the reality a month ago. I still can’t believe it.

Oh man wingeddove - I'm really sorry you've found yourself in this place. It really is a situation that's so difficult to believe.
Do you feel comfortable enough sharing some details about where you are so we can help?
A great place to start is the Healing Library.
Remember to try and take good care of yourself during this time.
2012 pretty much sucked.
Things no longer suck.

Wingeddove,
I, too, am sorry you had to find your way here.
It is hard to believe that someone you have spent your entire adult life with can just become someone else, seemingly, overnight.
I knew my X for 35 years. And, one day, he was just someone I did not know. And, I could not love or respect anymore.
The healing library is a great place to read.
A therapist might be of great help. I know mine helped me through things.
Hang around here too....the people are wonderful here. I do not post much, but the collective wisdom, and experience here have been vitally important to my journey. I still read posts here every day.
Sometimes, you must forget what you feel, and remember what you deserve

Thank you Betsy62 and chili for your kind words. I’ll check out the Healing Library. I do have a therapist on it and this helps. I also have two supportive friends who let me talk and help me sift thru my feelings. Betsy62 I too am sorry you’ve had to suffer this. It’s such a big part of your life that you watch crumble apart.
