Destroyed

At three this afternoon Jo came home crying. I knew what she was going to say, I've known it was happening, but I couldn't do anything to stop it.

She sat with me, crying onto my shoulder about how we've grown apart. How she doesn't love me like that any more.

Twelve years of being together, over in a conversation.

She's at her mums with the kids this evening. I've spoken to her as much as I can, but am a sobbing wreck. She loves me like a dear friend, nothing else. The spark is gone, and there's nothing I can do to reignite it.

She's been trying to deal with it for a few months now, but today was the point when she had to admit it to herself and to me. We cried, and I am still crying. There's nothing left inside me, but here I sit sobbing.

I love her, I love her so much, and have done since the day we met. We've been through so much together, and weathered every storm, but there comes a breaking point that a person can only take so much.

For now, she is with her parents with Jaysen and Tamsyn. I will probably have the house and she will get a new place, and I can see the kids when ever I like, and have them at weekends.

I want them all. Here. Now.

My mum came over, and she didn't know what to say. I don't know what to say. I can't make her love me the way I love her, and have offered to change however she wants me, but she can't. She's made her decision and I have to respect that.

I want to fight. I want to explode. But I can't do anything..

I don't know what to do with myself. I've tried pottering around the house, but the house is a dead shell without any life at the moment. Iwant my love and I want my babies. But I lose.

Jo, if you read this, I love you. I love you more than anything. I've always loved you and always will. I can't see my future without you, and I wish with all of my heart that I can say or do something to make it better, to bring you back to my arms. I've lost you, I know I've lost you, and I hate myself for making it happen. I wish we'd fixed it sooner before it got to this point, where we can't repair it.

I love you Jo. I love you so much, and hope you always remember that.


To my friends, please don't call, I won't answer. Don't text, I won't reply. Don't visit, I'm not here...


-Dan

My God. Dan, I read your blog daily from over here in Australia and I am shocked at this news. To me this is a travesty!

Keep your chin up and keep talking to her... you have such a history together things should surely set themselves right again.

I am in tears and I have chills after reading this..

Oh buddy...
I need to go back and read your latest post to see if anything has changed.

It is TOUGH! Tough!!!
Only time will help to ease the stinging pain.

When my ex husband and I divorced.. he was my high school sweetheart... we were 30 when we divorced... I thought I was going to die of a broken heart.
It did take me a few years to get over it... (and I filed for the divorce) I still hear songs that hurt my heart.

It is just tough..
I will keep you in my prayers... and thoughts.

I am so sorry for you Dan..
I know what you're going thru.
It stinks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dan
I've been absent from the blogging world like the other bloke from Australia. This is shattering .. and that's to me.

Really really saddened. Can't say any more than that because I am speechless for once.
