Life is really crap at the moment and I'm just wading through it as best I can.
DH and I have split amicably (I suppose) and have been living apart for months. We only officially called it quite very recently so there's a lot of awkwardness, hyper consideration of each other's feelings etc.
he will be staying over on Xmas eve so we can do Christmas with our DC together. I have no problem with this-I suggested it-but I've realised that we've done nothing but discuss "us" for the last 6 months. When we're alone together, our conversation always ends up there.
I'm exhausted with it. I do not want to spend Christmas Eve discussing how sad we are, or feeling more shit about things than I already do.
So I ask-how do I fill the time between DC going to bed and me being able to politely go to my bed? I won't be drinking so can't dull the awkwardness that way.
So far I've thought we could watch a film, but that still leaves a few hours of dead time.
Can anyone suggest ways of filling it without it veering over into woe is me territory? I can't have another night of it.
