I Am Going Through a Separation

First Holiday Season Separated

By: itsfuntoshare

Written on January 1st, 2013

This was my first Holiday season alone. Well, not really alone in a sense of not being in the presence of anyone but rather, alone In that I am not with my wife. The past dozen years or so she was off with one boyfriend or another, a majority of the Holiday season most years. I often wondered where she was and rode an emotional roller coaster.

Being separated didn’t mean I didn’t wonder, certainly not. However, it meant far less to me and I wondered less and for shorter periods of time and frankly felt ok.

Yes, this wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Tomorrow will be better

I didn't realize the holidays would drag me down so much... not being with my husband. When we separated, I felt free and almost "rid" of his life (with out me) and that is still true... but the holidays, certainly didn't help... I am glad they are over! Thanks for sharing... good luck!

  Thank you, same to you.
  For some of us, the negativity becomes such a deep rooted part of us we miss it when it's gone. Sad but true.
