Last night in the house together...

Even though I think that we are doing the right thing and know that we will both be happier, I am extremely sad that this is the last night that we spend under the same roof. I guess the reality of it all is kind of crashing down on me. I thought I was fine, ready to go through this, actually counting down the days till he was out and I had some peace. But we have been together almost 9 years and I am really, really sad today.

I have to imagine that this roller coaster of emotions is totally normal and that there are many more to come. But all I can think about is getting through today and tomorrow morning.

Fortunately, I have 2 work events after work tonight so I won't have to be here in the evening. I really did not expect these feelings. I am always the rock and I just feel sick today.

It is a normal range of emotions. I still get lonely about being alone in the house without another adult (my children are here though) and it's been since February for me. Hang in there.

I know exactly how you feel - i, too, was counting the days down until he moved out but then was kind of caught off guard when i felt dread the night before. We had even quit saying good night, but our last night in the house together, I told him good night and felt such sadness.. bittersweet, i guess.
