Oh boy can I relate to that!!! One of the reasons I got into this whole mess to begin with is that I spend way too much time alone. DH and I work opposite schedules during the week so that we can care for our kids. On weekends he's got a number of commitments related to hobbies/sports. I figured out that in the next 5.5 weeks we will spend a total of 7.5 days together. This whole situation has opened DH's eyes and he is making an effort to cut back - which I appreciate. But then at the same time I feel guilty that he's giving up something he really enjoys doing because of me. I feel like I've failed him somehow. How twisted is that? Speaking of twisted, MF (my MM) and I are still communicating. Not much, and very carefully but communicating. We care deeply for each other - it is soooooo hard to just walk away forever.
ANYWAY, what I'm really trying to say is I understand where you are coming from. It is very, very hard. Try to find something you enjoy doing and focus on that to help you through the next few weeks. I am playing board games with the kids every day, watching movies that I love and reading a good book. These things help a little. Wish I could say they helped a lot, but I'm afraid only time will do that.
Hang in there!
