STBXH is here right now

[joshlyman]

And dude guys, this shit is hard. Probably last time I will ever see him - he is moving out of state. Which is for the best, but fuck. Just need some hair pats.

*hair pets from a stranger*

I'm sorry :-(

[WOT?*]

Hair pets and mild scalp massage.

I'm sorry. Endings are so hard, even when you know it's for the best. **hair pets**

Yeah, I never wanted a divorce, but I have made peace with that. 6 months out and feeling great. But this is like final final never seeing someone who made up a huge part of your life for 8 years again.

Hugs and hair pats. After he's gone, maybe you can treat yourself to something nice, like a relaxing drink or a mani/pedi to lift your spirits.

Be easy on yourself tonight.

aw, man. i'm sorry. can you meet up with a friend for something alcoholic once he's gone?

[Deleted]

Hugs. You must be feeling so overwhelmed. Thinking of you girl.

[thinkofthesoldiers]

yes, because clearly drinks and nice nails will always fix everything. wtf is with you people who always suggest this stuff? it is right up there with a minivacation for couples who are fighting.

[lime]

Big hugs to you.

Do you have a support system you can lean on a bit tonight?

Agreed.  Think of something nice to do for yourself after he leaves and for the rest of the evening.

Uh, they are ways to relax?

Joshly take care of yourself today whether its getting your nails done, drinking, smokin' a huge bowl, having chocolate or going for a drive.

because when you're down, sometimes time spent with friends is better than time spent alone?  sheesh.  no one is saying that OPI and vodka cure all ills for ever and ever, but for THIS afternoon it might be nice not to be in the house alone.  or not.  i mean, it's a suggestion made in sympathy not a fucking command performance.


i hope you feel as good as is possible today, josh.

That's tough. Endings are hard. I had a hard time helping a friend pack up his x's stuff after a divorce, it made me emotional so I can only imagine how tough when you're in it.

Were you the one who's xh was being a stinker about getting his stuff before your move? If so, yay that he sucked it up and took care of it. (I could be totally off base w/ who it was though.



And yes, while self pampering won't fix it all, it sure as hell is a nice reward after getting through another tough milestone.

[W.T.Faulkner]

Josh, I'm thinking of you today. That must be so hard.

TOTS, kindly fuck off.

[joshlyman]

Thanks guys - my mom is picking me up right now and we are going to a pub for some Guinness

He was picking up the last of his stuff and saying goodbye to the animals.

I'm doing ok - beer will help

[mrsukyankee]

Enjoy your Guinness - it does solve many ills.

Hot legit Irish bartender bought me a shot. So the day did get progressively better.
