Me too! Do have children but not here, so on my own. Thought I'd be fine but feel like shit.

BraveGoldie · 24/12/2019 21:03

And me, son on holiday in New Zealand, daughter with her dad. Feel like *, but that's the same as every year. I hate Christmas, and have done since I left their dad. As for my daughter, she says 'you made your bed......'. I'll be glad when everything is back to normal.

Hello fellow wobblers , thanks for the lovely messages- I’m usually ok but finding it tough this year.

Ilovebolly · 24/12/2019 21:19

I’m on my own too - recently single, kids with their dad until tomorrow night, lost a lot of “friends” in the break up with husband. I’m so strong most of the time, but really feeling it tonight.
Hope everyone makes it through Christmas fairly unscathed!

I had a little wobble earlier. Single parent to one. Been alone for 10 years and achingly lonely tonight. 99% of the time I am fine. It sucks today though

dramaqueenforlife · 24/12/2019 21:27

@user1471429975 with you there. Single. 40s. Siblings have own families. Seeing parents tomorrow and rest of family on Boxing Day however have another 10 days of no plans. Live on my own. Friends and families have plans over festive period so no chance of socialising. Never thought I would say this but am looking forward to going back to work in the NY.

Priddypuddycat · 24/12/2019 21:31

It’s all heightened at this time of year isn’t it, the perfect gift, too many soppy Christmas films !

helpmyhead · 24/12/2019 21:39

My two older kids are with their dad this year so it's just me and six year old dd. She's now in bed so I'm on my own. Had a bad break up and was meant to with him tomorrow. I'll be on my own as of 4pm tomorrow. Worst Xmas ever. Really feel for you all. I've had a good cry

Troels · 24/12/2019 21:41

My teen has already gone to bed unheard of expect on Christmas eve
I have the family room to myself, Dh is off doing god knows what. I'm loving the quiet, I'll have a cuppa in a bit.

pinkpostitnotes · 24/12/2019 21:46

I was fine until I started walking around M & S, buying my meal for one. I don't even really want to say anything to people in RL because I'm sure they would be mortified that I'm upset. But I do feel rubbish. Hoping I feel better tomorrow, could do with better TV and not sloppy films!

Priddypuddycat · 24/12/2019 21:48

I’m going to watch eastenders to remind me that things could be worse 😂

Elieza · 24/12/2019 21:49

I’m alone this evening too, gutted that there is nowt worth watching on tv. Surprised as I thought there would be something half decent. Glad I have sky. Just going to watch something on sky cinema.

j712adrian · 25/12/2019 15:19

So sorry guys, I know my ex-wife had a dreadful time with multiple miscarriages, I think it affected her during our break up awfully.

Wobbles are allowed though.

Priddypuddycat · 25/12/2019 15:47

Hope everyone has been ok today xx

Elieza · 25/12/2019 19:35

The tv is better. I’m happy :-)

xmaschocolate · 27/12/2019 17:00

Hi. I'm having a post Christmas day wobble. Felt really lonely yesterday and today. No close family or children.

I've been going to bed ridiculously early thinking "I'll feel better tomorrow"

outherealone · 28/12/2019 20:03

Lots and lots of wobbles. Very tempted to have an ill-advised saucy reunion with ex ‘dp’ last night. Fortunately was invited out by friends and forced myself to dress up and go out despite exhaustion.
Was fun and a great distraction despite/because of (?) being offered a threesome/invite to future sex parties , made me laugh as I’d been feeling so old an unattractive knowing my ex dp was actively comparing me to exes ten years younger than me... and no I didn’t go Crown Grin

Justaordinarybloke · 28/12/2019 20:24

Seems like there is a few of us here. 44 and single for nearly 3months. 3 girls with there mother. Spent xmas eve and dinner together (slept in separate rooms) but destroyed me when I left. Spending new yr on my own doing nothing.

outherealone · 29/12/2019 00:08

Aww bless ya. I was planning nye with kids but exh has changed it so am now partying. I beer between relief I’m single and heartache for the closeness we had (not exh, recent bf)
He posted a really sad post on soc media as it’s a sad anniversary for him today, I saw the pic and his comments and his friends comments and it just broke my heart.
Obvs I still love his face but it also kind of made me understand why he doesn’t let go of these stupid relationships with exes.
I wish dearly things could have been different but my mental health was going so fast down the pan.
I hope you can find peace and happiness @Justaordinarybloke are you still in love with her or dosas about the family and the whole Christmas vibe?

Justaordinarybloke · 29/12/2019 07:56

I'm still in love with her, that's what's making it harder. Was together 15yrs.

outherealone · 29/12/2019 09:02

Wow. 15 years is a long time.

Justaordinarybloke · 29/12/2019 09:38

Going to try asking her on a date in a wk or so.
