Really struggling

[Fairycake2]

My DH left on Tueaday. It's his birthday today and I'm really struggling. This week has been pretty awful but I feel worse today. Think the realisation that he wont be back has kicked in too and I'm heartbroken. Please tell me it gets better 😪

Hi OP, I'm so sorry you're going through this.

It gets better, I promise. Be kind to yourself. Do you have support close by? Someone you can go to for a hug?

@Brakebackcyclebot thank you. I've seen a friend this afternoon and feel much better for it. Will just be glad when I start feeling a bit more 'normal' again instead of an emotional wreck!!

It gets easier slowly. You have good days and bad ones. Them having a younger girlfriend doesn't help ... but the old adage is true, time is a great healer. Try to communicate, it makes a difficult situation just a bit easier

So sorry you’re going thru this too. Mine left over a month ago and I still have days where I feel so sad and alone ... but there are definitely more better days now than there were at first. I find keeping myself busy helps. I just wish I could fast forward to the part when I have no bad days but I guess it just takes time. Hugs x
