God restored me after my husband walked away

My story for the last couple of years has been one of restoration. God has so beautifully restored my life, after a very dark and difficult time. It is five years now since my divorce. I was married for nearly ten years, until my ex-husband decided that he no longer wanted to be married or be in relationship with anyone, and wanted to live a life of a single man. It was an incredibly difficult time for me, we had both been through a lot. We were living in Dubai for the duration of our marriage.

Our time there had been challenging, running a water sports business, and going through a lot of ups and downs, relating to the business. The marriage itself was hard, but I gave it my all. So to have my husband, after almost a decade, walk out on me in 2017 was devastating. When he left, I packed up my bags, by then we had downscaled to a small apartment, so there wasn’t much furniture to sell after living for a decade in the country. I sold what we had, and flew home to Cape Town in October 2017.
