AIBU to still have sad days after 20 months?

[DormioErgoSum]

Separated from STBXH for 20 months. Divorce in last stages. All very much unwanted by me but nothing I could have done. I loved him very much.

Despite being much better generally, I still get really sad at times, I shed the occasional tear. Am I being silly? I should be over this by now shouldn’t I?

Thank you. Just can’t see a spot future at the moment which makes me sound so bloody dramatic as people go through much worse.

I think counselling helps
If nothing more than just having an outlet to vent and talk and cry

I always think Sunday’s are a hard day, keep posting on here if it helps you to talk x

Yes, Sundays are hard. I still haven’t got used to not being part of a little family anymore. No one to go for a walk with or for lunch on this lovely sunny day. Both my parents are dead and my sister lives abroad so no family around.

It’s hard being on your own. I am very independent in daily life but I am craving emotional support and company.

I totally get that. It’s a lovely day. I would love to go for a walk and have lunch but I haven’t even got out of bed yet!
I will go and do something this afternoon.
Can you try and get out for a walk, or just go for a drink in the pub, I used to hate doing that on my own, but I have been getting better at it. Take a paper have a half.

Or why don’t you give the dating profile a go today.

Everything does just get slowly better bit by bit, today has been a tough day for me too. So I get where you are at. But the terrible days are lessening.

Hi hunting, sorry to hear you are finding it hard too. What have you decided to do? I got the garden furniture out and haven sitting in the sun for a while listening to a podcast and reading - really took my mind off things and made me feel much calmer.

Will have to do some marking now (stressed teacher) but the Easter hols are close. Have made lots of plans to keep me busy.

I will leave OLD until I’m out of my current ‘bout of sadness’.
