Why do I feel this way

My stbx and I have been separated for 20 months now but the first 10 of it was off and on. SO why is it I can't even talk to him without crying. Take tonight for example we talked for about 45 minutes just about everyday stuff and it was kinda like old times. I got off of the phone with him and just started to cry. I don't understand what I am feeling. Has anyone else had this problem and how do you deal with it? WHy am I feeling like this? His brother is getting married this upcoming weekend and our children are apart of the wedding party so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I just need advice on how to deal with what I am feeling.

The wedding probably is playing a part in your volatile emotions.

i agree with karen, but also wanted to add that you are 'technically' separated for 10 months, not 20 months. since, as you said, the first 10 months were off and on. and i think that the feelings you are describing CAN take a year or more to get over it. so as long as you are PROGRESSING, you are in the right direction. if you feel that you are depressed and crying all the time, and its not getting better - then you might consider speakng to a therapist who can help you thru this.

hand in there!
