ever wake up like this....? enganada: woke up today to the weiredest feeling. it's almost like a hollow feeling? can't really explain it? I don't know what to think or even what to do. I decided last night that this is it. I shall resign to sleeping alone with the kids close by so i don't feel so lonely. I put the wedding rings back on because weirdly enough I am ashamed to let anyone know whats going on in my home; and it gives me a sense of comfort ??? I really hope that this is good and not the calm before an emotional storm so to speak :-\. has anyone else felt this strange thing, not happy, not sad, not necesarily numb, just plain weird.
just wondering ???

I know that same feeling. I had only been wearing the wedding rings at home (so the kids didn't notice) but off everywhere else because I was ashamed that what they stood for at one time meant nothing...Well, that turned and then I was ashamed to not have them on. It was a strange comfort to wear them...Like my world wasn't falling apart or something. I have had that hollow feeling every day for 30 days now. I found out on the first that my H had been having an affair and the feeling hasn't gone away. I want to cry and oftent times do. But that feeling just persists.

I know the feeling all too well myself. But let me assure you, and you too missing, that it does lessen a little bit, and eventually will go away. You will once again be filled with happiness. I know it doesn't seem like it now........believe me, even a year and a half after the fact, I still have days where the hollowness and emptiness comes back and haunts me, but those days are fewer and father between.
Wearing your rings will give you a sense of comfort. You long for what they once stood for, and sometimes you get into the mentality that if you wear them, it will come back and be as it was. I wore mine off and on for 8 months after the divorce was final......and I was the one who left him.
I never wore mine out in public, but I would wear them around my apartment, and to bed at night. I sold the wedding band, but I still have the engagement ring, and believe me.....I have had days where I will go upstairs to my room (I live with my parents now) and sit on my bed, put my engagement ring on, and look through our wedding pictures and wonder why I didn't know then how he was going to end up being. It hurts and I am doing better, but I still have my days.
Believe me though, it is and continues to get better!

Re:ever wake up like this....? jimloveless: taking off my ring was like pulling 500 pounds off my hand. but when you're accustomed to that 500 pounds... it feels very very strange.
hollowness comes and goes for me. numb. empty. angry. sad. bitter. irritated. restless. tired. i feel them all sometimes all in the course of the same day. tired has been the most popular, lately. tired of everything.
one thing i've learned is that the "emotional storms" can come at any given moment. even on my best days.

Same here. I am so tired of feeling bad knowing that she has moved on and barely 2 months after the divorce was final. Those "emotional storms" sometimes stay with me for days. Hate it.
