just sayin...

I'm the same way. DBF and I (of 7 years) broke up last night and I moved out of our home this morning.
I have a great face on. Until my folks (who have taken me and our doggie in) askif I am ok. Then the tears just gush.
Thanks everyone. Nothing bad actually happening to ME...just people around me. Watching a few relationships come unraveled...trying to get myself back in to school...too much estrogen in the building I work in (Elementary school...but some of the adults seem to think they are still in Jr High)...and then we had to go for a flu test for oldest yesterday. I went to pick the other kids up at MIL house and she asked the dreaded question.
Of course, I lost it! LOL! I told her some of what's going on, but had to keep some of it to myself.
Watching people struggle with their marraiges has been the hardest. It's people that I'm close to. (More than one couple...at the same time.) One, I totally get why she's upset. I know they'll pull through. The other...
....I just want to shake some sense into her. We can see her screwing up, but I don't think it will do any good to tell her that. She thinks she's totally in control of everything....and she's just SO not. She can't see the pain she's causing to people who love her.
I know I can't solve eveybody elses problems. But here lately, it feels like I'm just soaking up the sadness and anxiety that they are giving off. Does that make any sense? Everyone around us is having problems. There's nobody to let off steam with. Well, there's one person i could go to and let it all out, but she's friends with one of the couples having problems and as far as i know doesn't know anything about it. So, I don't want to divulge anything there...so here I sit...telling the world on a public message board. (makes perfect sense right?)
Anyway, thanks guys. Just knowing people understand is some relief.![]()
