Holidays suck
I've been doing fine. No crying for the last week or so and have generally felt optimistic about things with myself. But today I realized that we should be going to my family's lunch and then his family's dinner. We should be together and laughing and having fun. But instead here I am all alone. And everyone keeps telling me, "it's been two months. It's time for you to get over him." Well, that's not so easy my never married friends. I hate how they think a breakup they had with their boyfriend is EXACTLY like this. Or the one friend I had who was like, "Well I know what you're going through, one time me and my friend got in this fight..."
It doesn't help that I was chosen to make his favorite dessert. >.<
If this is what Thanksgiving feels like I'm dreading Christmas.

Re: Holidays suck
You are right, holidays do suck. Give yourself a break if it has only been two months. This is my third year of holidays since my separation and it is still hard this time of year!
Ugh I hate the, "Oh, I had a similar situation happen to me!" type of people. Why does everyone think they have to try to top your crappy situation with a crappier one.
Holidays are rough. You will get through it. *Hugs*
It's the sad-sadiest time of the year! You're not alone. And 2 months is NOT time enough to be over your XH. I would probably be more concerned if you were over him. Hang in there and stay on the phone with good friends or head out for black friday and indulge in some retail therapy. I'm about to take a nap to get a little energy boost.
You WILL get through this.
