Thank you Lois. He left this morning, so this is my first night alone. I cried and cried but at the moment i'm ok. bed time will be weird. He just left, said see ya later and walked out the door. no anything after 17 years, no hug, no care about anyone but himself. Maybe he just didn't know how to say goodbye or wanted to avoid an emotional scene, I don't know. It's done now. He said he might stop by tomorrow to get the last of his things. I changed the lock code on the door and got my garage door opener back. I reorganized the closet since it's completely empty on his side, now it's all mine and clean. Tomorrow i'll rearrange some more things, keeps me busy and thinking of other things. I did have lunch with 2 girlfriends. Talked with my mother and brother and that helped. Just feels like my other half was ripped from my body and is hanging there bleeding. Even the pets are acting confused. It'll get better I know, just this first night is really difficult. Thank you again for responding.
