I know. The weekends are the hardest for me, too. I don't think we just move on, I think it's a process. After all, the time and effort, emotional energy and commitment we spent with our others wasn't overnight. So maybe we shouldn't expect healing overnight either. I'm with you- damn, it does hurt, but hopefully we come out stronger and smarter because of it. I hate to think that it's all for nothing. I'm banking on a better me!

It's hard and you take it day by day. You don't wollow in you misery. Make it up in your mind that you want to be ok and work towards it. You didn't die and neither did he. Rejection hurts us all but it doesn't kill us. It's Friday night and I'm alone too...I'd rather be alone and sad than have someone with me that is unhappy and makes me unhappy. Alone is not the worse thing in the world.

Greetings from WA also. The weekends are the hardest but they do get easier with time..Find things you like to do. play with dogs if you have them, go to the park, take in a movie..etc..things will get better..

Yes, I'm crying and scared of going to "our" bed alone. I made plans with friends for tomorrow night. Being with friends always helps, even if they have never had to go through this pain.
Thank god for my cat, too. Do you have a pet? If not, rescue a homeless kitty or puppy. Unconditional love.

Ok maybe this sounds silly but are we still refering to friday night like its "date night". I mean I'm not doing anything tonight but I have plans sunday and a week or so ago I went to comedy show and then for drinks...I don't think about it like oh its friday I should be out.

Everyone has different schedules, sometimes if I want to hang out with a friend we have to do it on wednesday.

Not de-valuing your hurt just saying perhaps changing your mind set and not thinking oh its "friday" night may help.

Friday night is the hardest for me too. It used to be our date night...we would go to the movies or out for dinner or for a long walk in the park...Friday nights were always filled with promise because they always turned into a leisurely Saturday morning...We used to cook breakfast together or just sit and read together...I miss him all the time, but the weekends and nights are the worst of all. I don't know how to get past the pain...I think that time is all that can ease it, I am convinced that it will never go away completely, it will just become bearable, someday. Hang in there Shari! We're going to make it somehow...I have to believe that.

ShariB if you find the answer please let me know. Finding other things to occupy your time helps.

I know how you feel, I much prefer to be at work to have the company, how sad is that? I have joined a gym now that gets me out and gives me something to do in my spare time. Perhaps you could consider joing a group or a gym or a night class?
