Recently Seperated and Feeling Good about it.

Well, I have recently seperated from my wife of 7 years. Every one is asking me how I am coping. It seems as though they feel I should be devistated, but I have to admit, I feel good about this. It was a Joy last night to watch some TV, surf the Net a bit, read a book, and not be nagged. Left alone to enjoy my favorite past times.

That's great that you feel good about it. It's a good indication that the right decision has been made. I hope it continues to go smoothly for you.

Those are all things that my my ex did everynight no matter what and it destroyed our marriage. Maybe you should look and see if is just the nagging or the lack of a relationship that has caused the seperation. My ex says the same thing that he enjoys being his own person now. The only problem with that is we have a son and not only was he neglecting a relationship with me, he was neglecting a relationship with his son. I am glad you feel good, because seperation hurts. But it takes 2 to tango.

Well, I do have a son. He is almost 5. I still spend alot of time with him. I take him to Preschool 3 days a week. I also have him on Tuesdays and Thursdays all day long. we spend alot of time together, bowling, Putt PUtting, Playing at the local Parks. swimming, etc. He is a great kid. No matter what else happens, He and I will always spend and have great times together.

Wow, thats great! I'm not sure that says great things about the relationship or feelings you had with her though. But its a good sign that things will work out for the best for you in the end. There will be some speed bumps ahead though for sure, but for now, enjoy.

I am separated, have finally made my decision to end it, and am feeling good and good about it.

Of course, I had a lot of practice all those times he walked out on me. But now, I have given it up and it feels good.

Man, I wish it was like that for me and that it continues to be like this for you.

When me and the ex first split, it appeared to be Ok as it was just going to be for a "few days". Then as more days went bye, I started to miss the little things that I didnt realize I would miss.

So I hope it continues to go smoothly for you. but yeh, as some have said, it says a lot about the relationship you two had.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
