Just catching up. I'm glad to see that you are enjoying the gym. This is the part of a breakup which can be quite liberating. Women seem to go for makeovers, change our hair (not me! I darent chop my lovely long blonde hair!) or buy new clothes. Men tend to throw themselves into the gym. Obviously, I'm kinda going in the opposite direction- I'm getting fatter (I guess there is a baby in there). But whatever makes you feel good- do it! I also did the redecorating, make the space your own a bit more so there is less memories. I took down some of our pics, but there is some of me, wh and S that S loves to look at. So I took one for him, and left them up so he can look at them. I'll maybe put some up in his room for him.

The occasional blips of sadness are completely normal, we are all there at times. It's all pretty new and you spent a great part of your life with them. Eventually the pain eases and it's no longer the kind of sadness that makes you want to hibernate, but the type where you can feel it, but still get on with things.

You're doing good!
