I dunno, you guys. My wife and I have been drifting apart since her dad passed a couple years ago. At this point, we’re basically roommates.
So it’s Christmas, she’s out at her brother’s spending the holiday with his family. People I’ve know and loved for years, but no invite, no merry-Christmas texts, no nothing. And I don’t know why, because I usually don’t care, but being alone on Christmas really hurts this year.
We have a lot of differences, but this whole year has been a demonstration of just how differently we handle stress and problems. I just can’t handle how intense and angry she gets anymore. We’ve talked about separating recently, and I’m starting to think that I might want to start moving the process along for my own mental health.
I dunno. It’s been a lot to think about and worrying about how unpleasant she’ll make the process doesn’t make me excited to start. Then again, I feel like we’re just dragging out the inevitable.
Sorry to drop this on Christmas. I hope you all are having a magical day!
