Alone again..
Alone here at work; it's so quiet here that I wonder what lurks with all the unfamiliar sounds..my auditory senses can make such a fool of me!
I dread going to a house that's no longer a home, only to hear incumbant spouse make plans with others that's not inclusive of me; and I'm fighting off a cold..I have no life, no friends..I have retired at work..

aww. sweetie.... i so know how you feel. it is so hard to deal with the emptiness.
when you feel a bit better, if you can get past the cold, if you could find something that brings a smile to your face...... that seems to work for others. you know that nothing works for me, so I don\'t speak from experience. I hope it gets easier for you. the way your wife behaves is a mystery to me. I guess she thinks good men grow on trees, I can assure her, they do not.
Comforting huggs. Nothing worse than be excluded from family plans. I know I was there this time last year. It was devastating. Huggs and love xixi
Mel, I too am grappling with these feelings. First Christmas since the separation - we\'re drawing up papers this week. Trying to focus on me and things that I want. It\'s tough though.
Sometimes those \"sounds\" roar like lions:(:( Don\'t understand your wife\'s actions nor why she doesn\'t appreciate was she has!!!
My \"status\" statement seems to apply to you as well as myself and some of your other friends here:(:(
Sure do wish it didn\'t though!!!
Ags! (= agony) Sounds tough. Some truths are hard to deal with. Relationships - they are all much more vulnerable than anyone would like to imagine so don\'t blame yourself - it takes two and some long and some good modeling of what a good relationship is.
I hear you in your sense of aloneness at work. I hope you can find some comfort in the good things in life. I hope that while this experience is painful that somehow it will be a move forward for you into a healthier life.
I think I recall that you are working on getting a strong sense of self and to have or find faith. Others can help but a lot of that work occurs with you and with Time. May you have that Time.
I am glad to see the support you have gotten here. Just know I care and am here for you. Don\'t lose faith that a better day can come. It can and will if you refuse to give up and keep seeking hope and light and goodness. I hope you find some relief soon.
