Separation

Glad to hear it.  Words might have been a little more profound if I had taken time to proofread, but it seems you got the intended message!  lol

 Hi

My husband of 17 years told me on Aug 12 of this yes that he wasn't happy anymore and wanted a separation out of the blue...he was my best friend but was working so much for the past  2 years.  He would work from 9 in the morning until 11 at night hardly saw him and started to eat for comfort.
My son is 16 so he was doing his own thing.  They called me for surgery Sept 6 and I asked my
husband if he could help me through the surgery before we separated, however I was truly
hurt and found a townhouse for my son and I and had to move on Sept 15.
I had my surgery and packed and moved on Sept 15.

It is hard this time of the year as I really liked my in laws and will miss them at Christmas. I have been lonely but have friends to help me through this.

I am lucky I have a good job to help pay my bills.  

I am very happy with my choice for surgery ...and will have more energy and it opens a hole new world of dating.

I know it is hard but it takes time and you will be happy in time with the path you have chosen

Kelly: I separated from my ex many years ago, and experienced a lot of guilt and sadness, even though it was my decision, like yourself...
I was walking a lot at the time and prayed it would rain, so people wouldn't see me crying...I highly recommend that you allow yourself to grieve and also that you talk to your kids...lots...they'll sense your sadness, but unless you explain it to them, they may assume that they've done something wrong.
Time has healed...all the best to you in your new journey!
