Next 12 months going to be tricky. Kids and family don't know and neither do close friends. His actions aren't going to go down well with our kids or UK family and our friends here. I am not sure he has thought about it to be honest. I am 42 years old and am facing the rest of my life alone so it's a tricky time.
Honestly, you won't have to be on your own if you don't want to be.
Things will get better.

(((hugs))) Nb.
But you won't necessarily be on your own for the rest of your life. Unless you want to be. And 42 is still young.
Good luck telling the kids too- not a very happy Christmas.

Thanks everyone. Not a good idea to finish the Christmas sherry last night!! Where is the pounding head smiley ![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Not telling the kids or family just yet hence BE being my spot for venting. While he is away and only home 1 week in 7 I have decided to put on a brave face until he has to come back to Perth for work.

Looks like Kim Wilde was hammered on this train... Which should have been to the delight of the passengers... but no they have to stay in dour miserable mode.

I think your doing the right thing keeping it under wraps until he comes back and you can have an adult chat about this. Once family and friends join in it's hard to find a way back.
And whatever happens,at 42 i can assure you that there is absolutely no reason to think you will be spending the rest of your life alone.

Not sure it's any consolation for you but having spent much time working in Asia and seeing this happen more times than i care to remember these new relationships don't often work out for the guy and they often end up pretty miserable and a lot lighter in the pocket.

I was over a at a parents of my sons schoolfreinds recently who's father works overseas.... a massive argument erupted between their precocious 16YO daughter and the father who wanted her to turn the TV off as he wanted to play music. He spends a lot of time in Malaysia as a journalist. Imagine my wifes and I surprise as the Daughter screamed at her father "Go back to your Malaysian whore and leave us alone" In front of both her Parents...We didn't know where to look. He looked dead sheepish, especially as he had no answer to his daughters rage.
So good luck with this one NB... seems doomed to failure on everything I've seen and keep it under wraps like everyone else is saying.
BTW I share Papillions view that there is no way you'll spend to much of your life alone.
