Re: What do you miss about being married..not ex? niceguy: I miss seeing a baby and being excited that I would have one soon, instead of seeing one and getting depressed.
I miss taking care of things for her. Little things, big things whatever.
I miss being proud of wearing my ring, I miss fidgeting with the ring.
I miss joking with the guys at work about being married, now I just feel incredibely uncomfortable when that comes up.
I miss that comfort that I was were I was supposed to be.
I miss calling it our home, instead of my house.
So many things I miss.
Re: What do you miss about being married..not ex? achingallover: I know, niceguy, one of my bigger meltdowns happened when I felt for my wedding ring - just out of habit - and it wasn't there. I thought I would die. I just laid on the floor and balled my eyes out. :'( And I know what you mean about the kido thing. I was getting all geared up and then this past Thanksgiving my stbx told me he never wanted to have children! O.K. THAT"S NEW NEWS!!! I guess for me, I am looking at this as an opportunity to have the family I want with someone who wants to have it with me. A mate that I"ll get to choose as an adult, as opposed to the kid I was when I met my stbx. I think I"ll choose wiser this time...when I heal from this.
Re: What do you miss about being married..not ex? JASPER: Ok where do I began seeing as though alot of these things I will list here are not things I miss some are things I missed out on all toghether.
1. securtiy never had any with stbx
2.someone I could depend on couldn't depend on him for nothing but sex.
3.someone that shares the same goals as me
4.I do miss having someone to call my own
5.I do miss my stepchildren( sometimes other than that I think I'm adjusting very well to my new life I think I posted more things on what I like about not being married than what I miss about it.So judging from both list I'm making the right decision.
