It's been 5 weeks since my wife left. We spent Sat. together going through the house dividing-up furniture, etc. I have always been the strong one in my circle of family and friends..always giving advice and making decisions but now find myself feeling so insecure and defenseless. I haven't really turned to family or friends during my break-up..they think that all is ok w/me. All the things that were so improtant to me just don't seem to matter that much anymore...can't even hardly make myself go to the store. You guys here at DS have been my family for over a month and I sincerely appreciate each and everyone of you for the advice and friendship. Just venting here and to let you guys know that you a very special group of people that I have come to cherish..
To your friends and family.
I am also the strong one. I faked it like I was okay for the first 3 months. Then I had a breakdown.
It was too much for me to handle alone.
I'm finally feeling okay again, but it's been a long hard road.
Counseling has helped. Don't deny yourself love and support just because you're a strong person.
I'm glad you have come to DS--it has been a gift to me. The love and support I feel here is simply amazing.
Peace and hugs to you.
Man, I feel for you, just reading your words made me shaky.
Turn the clock back 6 months and your story was my story...I know the pain, the emptiness, and that feeling of being the mere shell of the man you were before.
I would never wish this experience on my worst enemy!
After 6 months Im on my way back, Im not there yet but everyday things get a little better.
You have quiet the rollercoaster yet to ride, get some help, talk to your friends and family, dont be ashamed to ask for help, or embarassed that you,the "go to guy", came up a little short on a play for once.
Im sure you will be astounded, like I was, at the amount of support and love and kindness that your friends and family posess, dont go it alone..
