Hi GB, I have been in some weird hole all weekend and missed that your H was moving out.

How are you doing?

I found that when my H moved out, I hated it, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I think it was even just more weird and hard to get used to. He was kind (read: guilty) and didn't take much furniture so it wasn't like I came home to an empty house. That helped.

Back to you. smile I know it might be hard right now, but when you can , try to see the silver linings. For me, the mornings - getting the kids ready and out the door - are less stressful without him here. I can stay up as late as I want without him complaining that I don't want to go to sleep when he does. Etc. You will find things, and it's OK to appreciate them.

It sounds like you are doing OK, GB! Hang in there.
