Re: sometimes I slip backward - is this normal nic1025: There are some days when I'm alone in the privacy of my room I sit in my wedding rings and listen to our wedding song and just cry. I mean I let myself sob out loud for as long as I need to. I ususally wake up in the morning feeling better and refreshed.
Sometimes it's almost better for you to let yourself entertain those feelings. You need time to grieve and morn. You've lost something you love terribly.
On that very note be sure not to spend "to" much time focusing on it. As much as it hurts you have to force yourself to put one step in front of the other and start making strides to move on. Just remember that you should never feel guilty for looking back and feeling the ache. Sometimes it's the only way you know you're alive.
I'm sorry you're going through this ((Hugs)) :-\
Re: sometimes I slip backward - is this normal LittleMinnow: Sorry you're feeling awful again painful. Me too. You're not alone, and you are making progress. Just remember that you are mourning and grieving the person you loved and the relationship you had. You'd be nuts if you didn't get sad given what has happened! Yet you are conducting yourself with dignity and integrity. You are being true to your heart by acknowledging how sad you are and how betrayed and alone you feel. Hang in there. We are all proud of you here.
Re: sometimes I slip backward - is this normal Older Guy: painfulop - your story re: your ex's problems sounds very familiar to mine. I'd say you would "not" be normal if you didn't backtrack once in a while.

Re: sometimes I slip backward - is this normal sparks: I sure hope this is normal because after 2 years I can still cry so hard my whole body hurts. I have asked this question myself and it seems to me that yes it is normal. Its a very painful process and I believe that it is something you work through not something you ever get over. Hang in there and it will get better. I am happier with myself today than I ever was while I was married. Look at the positives that come out of this if you can right now and take care of yourself. It will get better but as a warning you will also still slide backwards every now and then.
Re: sometimes I slip backward - is this normal sadgirl951: Hey, I've been there and in the future I will be there from time to time. It is a human thing to get sad and think of what was. You are perfectly normal. The more you let it out, the more you don't want to slip. So let it out. It's ok, cuz we're all here for ya.
That's my advice. Hope it helps.
