Hi everyone,
Don't know if its something in the air at the moment, but me and Dh have decided to separate. It was long overdue, but still a bit much to get my head around.
Anyway, I have bravely (or stupidly) decided to take my August trip alone, but will cancel all the romantic bits like California Grill, couples massage etc. Am I crazy? Will I be ok? I feel pretty confident getting around and am sure I'd get a lot more done in the parks with just me, but the thought of eating alone freaks me out. I know I could eat counter service but I don't want to do that for a week. I'm sure once i get there it will be ok but its scary to think about.

Feeling all over the place at the mo, and not sure what to say to the kids at this stage as DH will still be with us for a couple of weeks while he gets something sorted. Any advice about any of this people? HELP!!

Hello! 1st and foremost I am sorry you are going through tough times... and you may think that it is easy said than done.. but you'll come out of this situation a much better person than you are now. It does take time... don't rush things... You can loose sleep about it get mad about it be miserable about it but it will not go away.. so I would just exert those effort to make myself a much happier person... starting from taking that trip!!! yey!!! and check the dis meet segment of the Disboards... I bet there's alot of peeps going in August! I love going trips solo... no rush and not complex! I really hope you have a great time!

Sad sad news, but as others have said go for your holiday and try to enjoy it as much as you can.

Aaww, you guys are the best I did go over to the adults and solos board and have started exploring. I have wanted to take a solo trip for the longest time, but its the actual doing it that freaks me out, I'm sure I'll be fine. I've already been offered a meet while I'm there, so I think the DIS guys might keep me occupied after all
Thankyou all so much for your messages of support, it really means the world to me, and makes me feel like I'm not so alone. I think I'm gonna be around here full time for the next few weeks, I've been so distracted lately that I have really neglected my DIS buddies, but that is going to change every evening now.
Wishing you all lots of pixiedust,
Claire xx

Claire,
I was going in August with DH and had Cali Grill, Citricos etc booked, but sadly DH cannot come as his cancer has returned, but he wants me to go ahead as planned because I need the break,and so DS Simon ( aged 22 ) is coming in his place. I am cancelling those ADR's because DS does not like anything but fairly plain food, but if you want to meet up with us for a meal somewhere then you are more than welcome. I am planning on meeting Netty and family from the DISS one day so maybe we could have a mini mini DISS meet. I am there from August 11th to 28th.

Claie..I have just read your news...So sorry you are going through this, I think you are being very brave and doing the right thing. It would be the easiest thing in the world to put up with being unhappy and get more and more down as the years go by...one day you would wake up and wonder were your life went.
By doing this now..you have a wonderful chance to get a new life...One day iam sure you will find your soulmate ..Iam sure of this because you are such a positive, strong person. and you have a lot of intersets and enthusiasm. You are still young, you can start again, with your beautiful kids.

Iam rooting for you claire!! ..Please keep us updated on how you are doing. And definitly go on the solo trip...you are strong enough to do this.

Good luck...Tracey

You may just need time apart to re-evaluate your situation. You have been together since you were so young that you may think there is something else you have been missing. You never know time apart could sort out your problems. I hope everything works out for you.

I admire you so much and hope you can enjoy yourself in August. Will you take the children yourself when you go in October?

I hope you can really find yourself and true happiness.


Susan

Hi everybody
Susan, DH was not coming on the trip in October anyway so those plans will stay as is, my grandafther is coming with us for that trip.
After a long rollercoaster of a weekend nothing more has been decided. talking has gone backwards and forewards, and for now, DH will be staying in the house. He also has decided that he would like to come with me in August anyway, which could be a good thing, as we have always got on as friends, its just the relationship part that is a problem
I have been reading all your well wishes and am really overwhelmed that so many of you would take time out to write me a little note, thankyou Wishing you all a happy day,
Claire xx
