[QUOTE="Suz, post: 78476, member: 29"] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> Is this all normal???? </div></div> Yes. When ex and I broke up we each moved to different places. It was a blessing in disguise because I had decorating and home improvement projects up the wazoo to keep me busy. And when I ran out of them, I did them again. Heck, in the first two years I painted my bedroom 5 times because I couldn't find the right shade of green......and I had nothing better to do. Friday nights were the hardest for me because we ALWAYS went out to dinner on Friday night. So my Friday night date became going to Linens 'N Things. Feeling restless? HA! To this day I am the queen of restless. I was perceived as the bad guy (because I wanted the divorce) so exdh kept most of our old friends. They rallied around him, kept him busy. Someone told me once, "Men replace, women grieve." It has certainly been true for us. Ex is engaged now and doing well. I am sincerely happy for him. I was very surprised at how much I grieved. We were married for 25 years. The first year I was jubilant at being free....and the second year I grieved over the loss of the marriage, the friendship, the security, the way of life. That's why I mentioned it to you in one of your early posts.....to expect to grieve once the anger subsides. Karen, expect the unexpected. That's the best I can offer. Your feelings will probably be all over the place one day and then you'll feel just fine the next. It's all normal. Hugs, Suz [/QUOTE]
