Re: Survival: 2 Questions about how you are doing: Irony: Good one Random:
On the plus side:
I'm meeting nre people, forcing myself to get out of the house. Joined a gym, joined a fishing club, going to church more regularly, praying until my knees are almost bloody, spending more quality time with my 16 yr old son.
Hanging out on oJar and divorcebusting.com and learning that no matter what, I'm not alone and that someday it will all be ok.. (just not today)
Enjoying returning flirtations from a pretty girl or two.
On the minus side:
Smoking way too much, driinking at night to numb the pain, flunked real estate course which happened to come right in the middle of her leaving.
Obsessing about her constantly and boring allmy friends and anyone else who'll listen , with how I can't believe she's done this.
Sleep? What the hell is that?
Re: Survival: 2 Questions about how you are doing: 4sarah: 1- I also get up and get ready like I could meet the man of my dreams today even though I usually don't go anywhere
2- I hold on to some small hope that someday he'll realize his mistake and come back
Stupid I know I would do so much better if I could just let go......My heart hasn't let me yet!!!!
Re: Survival: 2 Questions about how you are doing: hardened_heart1970: positives
i am spending time, to find out who "me" really is. or is it an excuse to say that, to make me feel better about being alone? na, i want to feel the independance, to know what it is to do every aspect of every day life, and with child raising. i have 2 daughters, and i have done every single thing with them, myself withOUT anyones help.
thus, i know i need no one for help. i dont need someone to rely on. i want someone for me, and not to baby me
the bad? you all know, pyhco women. i have not seen her, since last saturday, and with hardly any contact, so hopefully shes starting to get over me..lol......
the best....hmm.... meeting someone, who is soo totally differnt than yourself, so sweet, so HOT, and has the personality to match. when you havent even met them, but they are always on your mind.. and the SMILE that gets on your face because of them.....
it will come, i know, we all know. we will be better in our next journey, and WE ALL will get the person that loves us, for who we are, and not how well we are hun......... woops, wrong post... lol....
good thread.... ;D

Oh, I'm sure not...
Re: Survival: 2 Questions about how you are doing: alonewith2: 1. I started no contact last Saturday. I didn't think it was possible, but I realized a few things.....and well, it's better this way. I didn't return his phone calls on Mon and Tues, then he stopped calling. I did have to see him Thurs and Fri because he came to pick up R, but P's dad was here to pick him up, too, so it was easy to not really talk to him.
I've started cleaning more. Tarheel's post got me thinking about that one, and I realized that I owed it to my children to provide them with a better environment. My house was never yucky, but it wasn't very "organized" either!
I've been spending more time with the kiddies and less time online. I forgot how great it was to snuggle up with them on the couch and watch a movie together!
2. I don't go out that much and socialize. I really need to. I do go out every other Fri night with my sister and her husband, but that's about it. I need to start doing more things. I'm never going to meet anyone or make new friends if I just sit at home all the time.
I need to make better meals for the kids. I usually only make one good meal a week for the kids, and then the rest of the week it's either chicken nuggets and mac-n-cheese or we go to my mom's for dinner. It's just really hard for me to put a lot of energy into cooking dinners since I know that the kids are only going to eat a little.....and then I'll have to wash all the dishes.....I haven't yet figured out how to make enough for 2 1/2 people. I always have a ton of leftovers that go to waste, or not enough...so I'm forced to make other things....
