My husband left me 2 weeks after getting married, so confused?

Well I normally dont do this kind of thing, but I feel like I've hit a wall.Well me and my husband were married 7 months ago and he left 2 weeks after getting married. We got in to a fight over my insecurity. He moved out and got his own place almost immediatly. needless to say my world was crushed. He says he wants to work it out, but we only see each other about once a week. I've learned alot from this whole thing, but I'm having a hard time letting go. I haven't been married long, but I dont believe seeing each other rarley is going to make anything work. I feel really let down and i'm not sure what to do. I feel like I will never get over him at this point. I'm a young sucessful person and have great things going for me, but none of it really matters because I feel like I'm running in circles. I've done everything he's asked me to do.I know he is fine with out me. But he won't fully let go and I can't either.I feel like a fool. How do I get the courage to move forward with my life?

Update:

I'm being completely honest, I was insecure. He traveled alot and I would catch him with emails from girls he would meet on the road. He also would delete pictures from his travels to hide things from me with other women. everytime something new happend or I caught something I felt less confident in his loyalty to me. We have a age diffrence of 11 years Im 25 he's going on 37. He has been married before too. We had a very open and great relationship. But his dishonesty made me insecure with how he felt about me. I felt he was always on the lookout. I just wish he would be upfront and honest with me. I was not insecure when I met him.

    I don't think there is any reason good enough for him to walk out after 2 weeks of marriage. It was a fight. Everyone has them. Me and my husband have had some whoppers. And its not like you have changed suddenly in the 2 weeks since you had been married. Do you want to keep you marriage or move on? I honestly dont think that his heart was in it to begin with. To be able to give up and move out so quickly, after a big fight? thats wrong. I think you need to talk to him and either he moves back in so you can actually have a fighting chance at making it work, like you say seeing each other once a week isn't going to help. OR he needs to tell you that its over. Its not fair to have you do everything he says, like a puppet, and then keep you waiting. Its torture. You really just need an answer. I would only give him those 2 options. If he moves back in you can open the communication lines back up again, properly. You both have learned and grown during your 6 months apart. You should see a counselor who can guide you with how to go about fixing whatever it is that has happened. Maybe he got freaked out by the whole seriousness of marriage. maybe he needs help with this. But you need to just get an answer so YOU know whether you're coming or going. Good Luck!

    Part of being married is you don't just up and leave. You stay and work things out. You two are married he can't just up and leave everytime you guys fight. Not to mention, if you're fighting about your insecurity it's not going to help your insecurity problem if he just ups and leaves anytime you guys disagree. It's the whole "for better or for worse" thing. If I were you I would call him and say if he wants to work it out he needs to move back in with you and work it out while living under the same roof because married couples are supposed to live together. Tell him if he doesn't want to move back in and be a married couple then ask him to come with you to meet with a divorce attorney so you can both move on with your lives separately.

    This situation is crazy. He can't just move out because you have a disagreement. He needs to grow up. What did he think marriage was?

    I can't tell you what you should do but after I found out I had chlamydia, I would've left. Getting with someone else is one thing. Getting with someone unprotected, and bringing me back a STD is another. And I'm the type of person who feels that to sleep with someone else, wouldn't turn my world upside down and that I could overcome it. But, I wouldn't be able to be with someone so irresponsible. That would be my issue because even if he was a single man and we were divorced, to get with someone unfamiliar and take chances like that with his health when he knows he has a daughter to help raise, would be too much to ignore. Also, I don't believe in separations whatsoever so if I left, it wouldn't be for a while. It would be permanent.

    He is not comitted to you or your marriage. Don't throw your life away because of one love gone wrong. Still need convincing? Sit down and make a list of everything he has asked you to do for him, and you have done. Then make a list of everything you have asked him to do and he has actually done. Write down on paper every good thing that he brings to your life how he has supported you. Write down how you have supported him.

    I don't know much about your relationship but this sounds pretty selfish and one sided to me. Especially if he is fine without you. If by chance, you do turn out to be in the wrong here, (if you find you are making exceptions for him, you cannot count those in your list. they must be valid things that others would see as supportive or good for you without being explained by you.) then do some soul searching, and find out what it is that makes you feel so insecure ( I bet you anything it's 98% his fault) and work on those things, but without him. Do something for yourself. Be a strong woman, don't get stepped on by this guy. I am sure you have a lot to offer the right guy....you just have to be strong enough to know it.

    You might be better off letting him go. If he has real issues that are enough to drive him out the door then they'll probably come up again and again later on even if you do get together. In a way I admire him for moving out so quickly but I realize it is hard on you.

    Get a divorce, file for abandonment.

    Unless he is bipolar, dishonest or was just using you for your success, he needs to be out of your life. You are only a fool if you STAY. Was he new to the country. This sounds like something that a person wanting a greencard would do.

    Find courage somewhere. This may be the best thing that has happened to you...........realizing early that you have a bad marriage rather than later when it is too late and there are children involved. Neither one of you was made for each other it seems. Good luck!

    My sister I sympathized with your situation...There are some critical question tat you need to as yourself..what caused the breaking up.....will happen again in subsequent relationship....I am not here to judge you...Some men are unable to deal with insecurities, nagging,questions of integrity...and the list goes on...and many a times the only solution is to get away from such senarios....The answer to you problem lies in your hands...eg..how flexible are u to change...you will need to compromise a bit....do not prejudge....Try and get togather and work something out ...else move forward with one step at atime......

    Turn the tables on him. Stop contacting him and move on. What kind of loser moves out after one argument 2 weeks after marriage?
