It's a daily struggle, but just staying in my lane one day at a time. Last night and it seems - every few nights I wake up in the middle of the night and the thoughts of it all keep me awake. How he is, how it is. Ugh. For a of couple hours. Try different things, then FINALLY get back to sleep. Leafields thank you for your last response. I needed that - as I've read it in here in other posts, but I guess my heart is still trying to catch up to what is happening here. I often have to move it through my head like a check off list to again realize that I am moving on the correct path.

We both come and go, and often get through whole days and not speak at all to each other, or just one or two words - all day. Weird. We don't even look at each other. Four months ago he casually walked in the room and announced that he doesn't love me anymore. So, I'm still there - in that moment that I never thought would happen. All these years I have been all in and taking care of all of us. My WS and my kids - have always been my whole world. I've not been one to socialize with co-workers after work hours, and my social life normally evolved around whatever my family was doing. Just the last few recent years when my marriage has slowly been falling apart have I Iooked for friends and activities with other women in my age group. Even so, not sharing my story with anyone - as I wanted an escape for even a little while from this sad lonely life that I have at home. This week I had lunch with an old friend and wished that I hadn't mentioned the few things that I did as it just ruined a much needed 'escape' from it moment. A moment that I would rather have fun and forget about it for even just a little while.
