What a way to start off my day. Our "dream home" as W used to call it will close on 12/1. I've been living there alone since 10/1 with all the ghosts of my D and W. W and I have been haggling over property, but have pretty well settled things. She refused, however, to tell me when she was moving the large items out.<P>I needed to talk to her this morning ofver some of the outstanding issues the buyers of our home have. I called her at work (she lives 3 hours away) and they said "she's moving today." So I called her on her car phone.<P>She answers the phone, "Hi Honey... What exit are you at?"<P>I'm still trembling from this one. Up until 8 months ago for the last 15 years, "honey" was me.<P>How do you take these body blows?<P>Jay<P>

Jay,<BR>I'm having a body blow day today too, and here's what I'm doing. A little crying; I told my friends at work about it; I told a friend here on the forum about it; I wrote a little; and I'm doing some work at work. <P>I know today is not going to be my best day, but that's okay. I expect myself to do nothing except just get through the day. Today is not the day for growth or acting mature or any of that stuff we kind of strive for--today is just get through the day. <P>Also, try a few jokes. Laughter, even if it's just a giggle, can help a lot. It makes it seem as if the world is not entirely pain, hurt, and body blows.<P>"What do Al Gore and pantihose have in common? They both irritate the Bush"<P>CJ<P>------------------<BR>Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

CJ,<P>I'm glad we can commiserate together. I can't cry now, but will later when I return to an almost empty 5 bedroom house.<P>Like the song says, "Momma said they'll be days like this....they'll be days like this my Momma said."<P>Thanks for the joke. It does help to lighten the heart.<P>Sometimes (like Chevy Chase said), it might be more fun to stand in a cold shower ripping up 20 dollars bills.<P>Jay

Once, sometime after he moved out, x said "I Love You" at the end of a phone call. I know how it feels. It's not fun. But a little crying and joking is good therapy - not to mention the therapy of having buddies here who know how it feels.
