Any experiences of living with XP?

[used2bthin]

Am sort of in the middle of a split I think, its all still quite bitter, him saying HE wanted it to work but ending it cos he doesnt feel i do although its far more complicated than that and its only recently that he's wanted commitment and i think for me i've just run out of steam. Anyway for financial reasons he has to stay here for a bit. I'm finding the whole thing completely exhausting and we had a lot of stress to start with so just wondered if anyone has any experience of/opinions on living together after deciding to split?

Thanks pc. Its so helpful to hear that others have got through this

My internet was the think I missed most when I moved...I missed MN far more than my ex!!

Where are you, I have a spare PC. It's crap but it gets online okay!

Noooo, don't think about that just yet..

Think about the extra space in the fridge for chocolate and the extra space in bed for sleep...my DH fidgets like a whore on crack and its making me soooooo tired!!

Nikki - don't you think she is having a shitty enough time already without having to speak to PC blardy world?

Think??!! Sorry, that should be thing! I am watching TV & posting on here at the same time!

It does get easier, honest, just take one day at a time & surround yourself with your friends. You will be ok.

That's why I suggested online....no talking to spotty teenagers who prob wanked before their shift and then paw the mouse while showing you the features.....ughhh!!

Nikki seems a tad frustrated this evening folks!

No, he's watching Lord of the Rings....I'd get distracted by Aragorn!!! roffle!!

Used2bthin - v soz, am moving away from topic here

You could always find a replacement (husband that is) here

I'm currently living under the same roof as h though we've seperated. Sleeping in seperate rooms, still in the midst of seperating finances. Waiting for house to sell and he won't move out. It's only been 5 weeks but they've been long weeks.

LOL at the guy up for half price

Sounds very similar to the situation I was in, upsadaisy. We lived together, but slept in separate beds etc for the best part of a year & it was very hard!

How are you coping with it all?

Sorry had to go cos he came home and havent been near computer till now. Whomovedmychoclate thanks but my dad said i can have their old one when they replace it so hopefully when i finally pluck up the courage to tell them they'll do that. Lol at the husbands site, what a good idea! Although the thought of ever living with a man again makes me feel ill... Got healthily drunk yesterday while mum babysat, only 2nd time since DD born and I needed it! He now says he's going at the weekend. This in between stage is awful but I am dreading him moving as it makes me feel so sad(mainly for him I think)Wish i was less confused!

Uppsadaisy are you arguing a lot too? Its v hard situation as its easy to carry on as if its normal and it confuses things. Mine keeps making comments like "DD will have to get used to not having me here all the time"and it makes me feel awful!

yes to the OP, I did it for years with my dx, also for financial reasons....DONT, get out as quickly as you can! your life will improve loads.

Just told mum and she was ok but disappointed I think. I feel worse about it now but at least thats one more step towards it being real so life may at SOME point feel normal.

Glad your mum reacted ok, U2BT, I hope she offers you support to help you through this difficult time.

Thanks, she said she suspected all was not well but is sad for DD which we all are!I feel like my life has just been constant stress for so long now, I just want it all to feel stable and normal.

It will get better
