I'm so sad today

DH and I have been having some problems and he's moved out for a while. We've met up a couple of times recently and things have been going really well. We were supposed to meet today but he texted and cancelled last night saying he wasn't feeling up to it.

I've no other plans this weekend and everyone's busy, I just feel really sad and alone and I don't know what to do with myself. Normally a whole weekend to myself would be something I'd look forward to but I just feel crap today, never thought I'd be looking forward to Monday :(

Oh I know the feeling :( that's tough.
If it were me i would run a bath, dig out a good book and just try and enjoy a bit of quiet time and try and accept it's going to be a quiet day, but that's ok. I also focus on life admin on days like that, any outstanding things I need to etc, so to use the time to clear the to do list. I know the feeling. Hope you're OK.

Thanks, I'd just started running a bath when I read this Smile I think it's the two days in a row that I'm struggling with. I usually do enjoy my own company but I think today I'm just not very good company for anyone!

Ah I'm sorry
We split a few months ago and I have the whole weekend on my own
I'm currently turfing out the wardrobes etc
I have to try and keep busy
Sorting and improving the house is my go to when I've got no plans
I have my favourite music on and I'm sweating buckets because it's surprisingly hard work

Hope you're feeling a bit better now OP. I'm having a similar sort of weekend but without the relationship worries. Like you I normally enjoy being on my own for a bit but it feels like everyone else is getting out and about enjoying themselves and i'm just sat here with a glass of wine again, feeling a bit unfulfilled. Feel like i'm wasting my child free time doing what I normally do. Asked a couple of friends if they were free to go out and they aren't. Feel like a right billy no mates. What are you going to do this evening?

@wobblywinelover I'm feeling a little better thanks, I know what you mean about feeling a bit Billy no mates :) I'm making myself a nice chicken salad (which I'll probably share with the dog :)) and am halfway down a glass of wine. There will probably be another. Trying to find something to watch that isn't about relationships, either happy or sad. I think I've set myself an impossible task Grin

I know how you feel OP, my husband moved out 3 weeks ago. It's weird because he works shifts so I'm used to being on my own at weekends but it feels different now. I'm concentrating on making the house my own and generally trying to just go at my own pace - some days that's full steam ahead, others it's negotiating with myself to get off the sofa.
Just be kind to yourself OP, take care.

Same here. First weekend with no children here and ended up with too much thinking time and too many tears. Feeling sad about our disjointed life and have just had enough of feeling like this. Here's hoping that time really will heal us all
