I'm currently going through the extremely shitty and emotionally draining process of separating.

Things have been crap for a while, I was willing to work through this, learn from it and come out stronger. My husband on the other hand would rather give up because relationships shouldn't be work apparently. Very much a man child (has caused many many cries of ltb on previous threads)

Anyway I have my up days and my terrible terrible cry into my pillow days. I've noticed a few people seem to be going through similar. Thought it might be nice if people can name the positives (the more trivial the better) of them not being around anymore.

Mine is the amount of junk I can now buy and be reassured it won't be scoffed by the greedy git. You could not have any sort of chocolate biscuit in the house without him eating the lot during one of his midnight xbox sessions (seriously my kids have more restraint than him) So to celebrate I've brought a jumbo family value pack of Bourbon biscuits. This has made me stupidly happy.Grin

I could fill a book. I was devastated to leave and couldn't face up to it for years but there is nothing, absolutely nothing, that I regret about not being with him and being free. Leaving him is the best thing I ever did for me and DC and then some.

I don't miss the snoring and the sexy sleep apnea mask.
I don't miss the riveting nightly monologues about his day.
When we split after 4 years he said "oh well, at least you've got the cats"! In retrospect I definitely got the better deal!
