Stranger In My House Part 2

[HesAble]

Ok, all you veterans...It is that time of year when all the Valentine's Day crap is out in stores. For years, H and I have made a big deal out of the holiday and, for the first time, I am feeling the pain of being lonely and feeling "single" on that day.

Any tips for surviving the day without having a breakdown? As bad as H treats me nowadays, I am not expecting a present, card, text or any kind of acknowledgment on the day, of course (even though we live under the same roof and are sometimes intimate). In fact, I expect the worst - that he will not even come home that night or will schedule to be out of town the entire weekend. The thought alone makes me sick to my stomach.
