Our 25th wedding anniversary is approaching just before Christmas.
Usually we go away for one to two nights and buy each other lovely gifts.

What do I do this year? Do I acknowledge it? Wait for H and see what he does? When we separated the first time a few years ago we still went out to dinner...

I thought I'd feel upset and sad but I don't. I feel quite calm, not detached exactly, more curious. I guess I will just wait it out. H always takes a week off work during the Christmas period, maybe he'll start thinking about what he wants...but maybe he won't.

Ugh.
