I have empathy for those of us with children still at home. It is a little easier when the kids are older and have moved out, but they are still affected. Our anniversary is next Sunday. I plan on mowing lawns at the three houses and having a beer.

Well my anniversary is next Sunday also. It will be our 26th and it will be the first that we have not celebrated together. Always done cards and dinner or maybe even a weekend. Not this time though. All you guys will be in my prayers as I hope you will be in mine. I just wish it didn't fall on a Sunday this time. It will make a very long day, just that much longer. I wonder sometime what it all means. Why do you put so much effort into something only to find out that it doesn't mean anything to her. They just walk away. I was kicked to the curb by email. But hang in there guys. Tomorrow is another day. I'm 24 days from a possible divorce but hey, who's countin.

Wishing you the best, CS. Mine is coming up in a little over a month. I've always been the one to remember and get a card, etc. This year, I'll probably just update my signature on this board and that'll be about it.
Country I have been thinking a lot about this lately too. My anniversary is the 18th of this month. Our first one apart. I doubt it will help my sitch to bring it up to her. We do talk on the phone often, maybe that will be one of the days. It will be a hard day for me either way. Never thought I'd be in this position.
Mine is October 3rd...have no idea what I'll end up doing when it comes around because I have no idea what my sitch will be looking like then. I'm curious how my W will treat it as well. Only time will tell.

For me, for a W who has left and is in an active A. "Happy Aniverary" just seems. Hmmm. What's the word...
I'll just say strange
Of course I have thought about things a lot today. But it is easy to make too much of these things. I know I have done so before. Fathers Day hit me hard.
When I step back now, these things "out there" mean less to me.
Hope you are doing well.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
