Meeting Seperated Wife When Handing Over Kids

[NormalBloke]

Hi been separated from my wife for 3 months or so now. She was the one to end the relationship which has left me heartbroken but im getting on as well as I can I suppose

Anyway does anyone else find it upsetting when you have to meet the ex to hand over the young children or when you go to her new house to collect etc.

This is unavoidable really and although I don't show her I am upset at all behind my mask I just want to give her the biggest hug but I know I cant.

I sometimes get through the week ok but when its coming up to a handover I start to fret and get a bit anxious about seeing her.

It just stirs up all the memories ..............ouch it hurts

Any advice to get through this......is this pretty normal??

Oh mate, i know just how you feel, i was there for a long long time, exactly the same situation.

For me it passed with time, i still see my ex pretty much everyday to sort the kids and now i view it more as a mate popping by. On the odd occasion when things were really bad for me i managed to make alternative arrangements on a temporary basis for a few weeks but it was enough to give me and my broken heart some rest.

Try it and see what works for you, good luck.

oh btw i imagine its perfectly normal where one party didn't want the relationship to end and is still in love with their ex.

Yep stupid heart jumping a beat when I see her..........sooooo annoying

it passes, but may take longer than you think.

So sorry to both of you xxx
