Two weeks later

Mupeteer

Hi everyone. It's now 2 weeks since BF and I split up and just under 2 weeks until I came back to the forums. I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your support. I don't know where I would be now if it wasn't for this place and all the lovely people who post here.

I'm still a bit of a mess but much better than I was. I'm still staying at my step dad's house but I move back to my flat on Thursday this week. XBF has to be out by then. I'm sort of looking forward to getting back there but dreading it at the same time. Does that make any sense?

Hi darlin,

yes it all makes perfect sense, just remember where we are if you need us, good luck xx

It's always difficult at first. I've been back single for 13 months now and only recently got back to feeling myself again. I sat here barely able to speak when he first left telling everyone how I knew I would be ok eventually. I wished someone could fastforward me 6 months. But I got there in the end. And you will too.

Its just normal sweetie! But step by step it will get better! 2 weeks ago you were up against it and going back to your flat will not be easy as you know but 2 weeks on from there, that will get better!

Keep posting and let us know how you're getting on!

Hi mupeteer!:j

Don't worry, as all the other posters say, things will get better, as my gran used to say, "What won't kill me will make me stronger".

hold on tight and take care of yourself.

Well, it has finally come. After I collect my step dad from the airport I'll be heading home and he wont be there. Part of me has been looking forward to this moment and I've planned my attack: 1. Change bedding so I can't smell him; 2. gut the flat.
Only thing is, not that the day is finally here I am erally dreading it. I know that when I get inside all my resolve will disappear and I'll end up as a sobbing, salty mess on the sofa.
I don't want to to this.

May I suggest you change the locks as well. Just in case.

I don't envy you one bit, it is so difficult to do but you really have to do it. It's that initial walking through the door that I found the most difficult but once you've done it, it's over, and will never be that difficult ever again, and the only thing that's going to make it any easier is time. I'd have given my right arm for a fast forward button!! There's nothing that anyone can do or say to make this time any easier or less painful other than reassure you that you WILL come through it.

You know the expression, 'it never rains but it pours?' Well, it's doing that here. Just had a call to say my gran has been taken into hospital. She was bitten by a dog earlier in the week and has an infection in the wound. She's so old and in poor health anyway that I'm not sure she'll come back out.

That is so true. But when there's been a downpour there's generally some sunshine following it! Every cloud has a silver lining and all that. I split up with long-term partner, lost my house, lost my granded and lost my friend in the space of a few months so you are not alone, it happens to us all sometimes. And I do remember saying 'surely nothing else can go wrong' and wished I hadn't. Just remember that no matter what you can't change anything and I'm a strong believer that everything happens for a reason.

Try and keep your chin up x x

Hope you're OK Mupeteer, it's a horrible time but it does get easier, from me who has been where you are now. x
