shit day at work...first time I don't want to be home alone!

8 months after leaving stbxh and not having missed him at all, I've come home after a horrible day at work and really miss having someone to sound off too.

He was a crap listener so didn't even understand what I was talking about half the time, but he was there to give a hug if I wanted one!

It pisses me off that I'm thinking like this when I've come so far

Aah this is hard. Would it help if you did something you wouldn't usually do as a distraction?
Maybe go out to friends/shops/gym just so you are around people. Or have a glass of something and a bath.
Sometimes if you stick in your usual routine it means you might be overthinking or ruminating on what might have been, that's how it goes for me sometimes.
The first year is the hardest I think. x

I was due to go to the gym but cancelled as I thought I'd come home & enjoy the sunshine.... Should've gone after all would occupied some time & left me physically too exhausted to dwell.

Can you text or FB a friend and have a rant to them?

Ring STBXH for a chat and invite him back...and then you'll remember what a sh*t day can really be like. Grin
