Pity Party

I realized that for the 1st time in at least 13 years, I am spending NYE alone. I feel like a loser with no friends. Well I have some but apparently they have other plans. At least I'll be rested when I show up for work tomorrow morning.

I can't help but think that the reason I am in this situation is because of this marriage/divorce. I moved from another continent so my main group of friends is thousand miles away and then I relied mostly on stbxh's social network. Here's hoping in a year from now my situation will be different and I'll have a kickasSs NYE.

Re: Pity Party

  • I hear ya...

    I'm home tonight but wish I was alone (except for my kids of course) instead I am trapped in a house with my StbX and his mother ...

    I think I'll go to bed early

  • I'm sorry!  It's really though when you feel like your friends aren't there for you.  HUGS!  Hang in there - it gets better. 
  • I'm pretty sure that my plans of going to bed early tonight and ignoring the holiday are going to be ruined by the massive amounts of fireworks in my neighbors garage.

  • I understand. Last year, I did NOTHING. I sat on my couch eating Kraft Mac & Cheese. This year, I just made sure I had a plan....it's nothing exciting, my gay bf and I are going over our married friends' house for dinner & board games. I've actually been looking forward to it all week because the four of us always have a lot of fun together.
  • I am feeling better. My friends back home are going to skype me because the New Year starts in 28 mins for them!

    My plan for tonight: rent a movie, buy myself some makeup, take a relaxing bath, eat home-made enchiladas and go to bed. 

    Only negative: there's a huge winter storm coming. If I didn't have to go to work super early tomorrow, I wouldn't care but that means I am going to have to get up earlier to be at work on time.

  • I'm with you on the pity party train. I've only had 1 "lonely" NYE since I was 15. FIFTEEN. That's 17 years ago. My a-hole husband made sure to text at 8pm (6 his time) to say that he'll call and wish us a Happy New Year tomorrow...as in, "I have a date, so don't call me." I don't mind being with my kids - I've never wanted anything more than to be a mother, but it would be nice to have someone to stay up with.
    She's crafty - and she's just my type.
