A woman has revealed how she ended her 14-year marriage by printing out her husband’s online dating profile and laying it out on the kitchen bench.
She scrawled ‘I want a divorce’ on another piece of paper and waited for him to find it when he came home from work.
‘I went to bed, and later that night he came home, read it, and went straight to bed next to me. Like water off a duck’s back for him,’ she told Mamamia.

The next day they sat down and both admitted to each other, and themselves, that they had been unhappy for a long time.
‘I wasn’t keen on divorce at all, but I knew my worth and by the point of finding the dating website profile, I was too far gone. It was emotional cheating and physical cheating, and I had just had enough. I was heartbroken too,’ she said.
At 44 the woman said she was ‘mid-way through peri-menopause’ when her relationship ended, making it ‘pretty bad timing’.
The couple’s daughter was ’11 or 12′ and was devastated by the news, which also coincided with puberty and the emotional and physical changes of becoming a teenager.
The woman revealed she had ‘forgiven’ her husband for cheating two years into their marriage and couldn’t do it again.
‘I had an inkling he wasn’t faithful, as soon as I had proof I asked for divorce.’

It wasn’t until years after the divorce the now 50-year-old ‘broke down’ and allowed herself to feel hurt and sad over her relationship breakdown.
She and her ex-husband only ever spoke about their daughter and were not on friendly terms for a long time.
Then suddenly things were fine. She said they both went to their daughter’s graduation and ‘got along great’.
‘I guess time can heal wounds in a way, and make things easier,’ she said.
She said she doesn’t plan on ‘ever having a partner again’ but has bought a dog, something her ex never allowed.
