Divorcebusting.com Forums Open Forums We're separated--What Now? So... it's come to this.

I think about you too Mat. I am doing okay. I continue to pay bills and take care of my kids.

H continues to be H He wants a different like but can't quite let of this one.

I gave up on the notion that I can do anything to turn this around. It is so not in my power.

How are you?

Talk about bizarre... H and I went to a wedding together this weekend. I was supposed to be in this wedding, but decided early on that I did not want to be in it... got the courage up and told the bride and she totally understood yay! I was so thrilled to have done what was right for me and was looking forward to just enjoying the wedding as a guest.

But I didn't enjoy it so much. I later realized it was because of my circumstances. How bizarre for me to be doing anything with my H.

Ever since then I have been practicing a simple phrase for when ever someone asks me how H is. My response... "We are separated". I have even posted it on a couple of non-D related website where I am a member.

I know many of you are asking yourself what took me so long. But at least I am here now. I think I may start a new thread if I can think of a name. If I do I will try to be much better at keeping up with it.

Let me know if you start a new thread....especially with a new name!

ROFL! I will are you still online?

I will look for the new thread. I still can't say the "D" word very easily....I tell people we aren't together, or we aren't married anymore, but it is still weird to say "Divorced"...so I can understand the hesitation to say you are 'separated'...

I really do want to start a new thread, but I can't think of a title.. isn't that silly?!

I also want to change my facebook status... I do not want an announcement that anything has changed I just want to remove H's name and have it not say anything about my relationship status.

How Far.
Do you know that song by Martina McBride?

I had not heard that song, and I really like it! I quit listening to country radio on 12/01/08. Looks like I have probably missed some good songs.

Thanks for the suggestion WCW... how the heck are you anyway????

When I switched my status to "single", it popped up on my profile shortly after, "BBJ is now single"...However as soon as it popped up I clicked on "remove" next to the post to have it removed...so I doubt anyone saw it...
