Merry Christmas!!
Hope you have all had a lovely day! And if not and you want to vent or chat, then i'm here to listen xx
Merry Christmas. I told my story too many times this past five days, but my wife filed for divorce on the 20th. Been super busy and productive these five days lawyers, support groups, counceling, groups of people, texting support friends, looking for places to live. Wife still being super cool about it and we are working together so both of us don't suffer. 28 years.
Wow, 28 years is a long time to then end things. You should be proud of that, there was lots of good things in that time. I hope Christmas was a lovely day for you, and you're exploring new traditions. This year I did a walk before Christmas dinner for instance, I would recommended as I'm that far north it is dark by 3:30!
She and I are civil, getting along, and going to work together to make this fair and easy. We did have a normal Christmas together, but this was still looming over our heads. Scotland is my ancestors origins and one day, I hope to visit.
I'm sorry to hear that. Do you have a good support network of friends/family? Don't be afraid to reach out. 28 years is a long time together, so try to remember the good times.
Yes and thank you for the advice and concern. I instantly started going to church functions from several churches of varying types. Reason? People, meet regularly, free. I'm Buddhist but had started out as a southern Baptist in Missouri usa. There are hardly any Buddhist sanghas (congregation) that I can attend and isn't zoom. I just need to be be outside, walk dog for exercise. Found a divorce care support group at a local Lutheran church. Went to my first meeting already. Tomorrow on Friday is my first therapy/councilor appointment.
Called an old friend I know since freshman year and we will start hanging out again. Called mom when I was in the store bawling my eyes out for a very brief moment. She helped ground me. It's not easy. But I've done a lot in five days since I found out. My wife and I still love each other very much and are working together so we both can survive this.
Merry Christmas my friend, at least the weather's been alright.
Yeah its been very mild!! Got out with the dog this morning!
Busy day with the kids, house is a tip, but people are happy. Just need to find some me time today in all this, I got a few new books but need to finish my Waterloo book first. Weather looks good too, some leaf collecting and pruning perhaps. And Turkey curry!
How did your day go?
Sounds lovely!! The mess will tidy, so don't worry about that!! Mine was very chilled and relaxed!!
