Anyone else spending Christmas apart from their spouse. My H has gone to stay with friends over the whole holiday period (he won't be back until 8th January) and I am going to my parents. this is the first Christmas we have spent apart since 1988, and then the circumstances were so different.<br>I am trying to see the positive in this. He says he needs a separation so that he can start missing me. Also, if we did spend it together, I don't think it would be the wonderful time I would hope it would be, because of all our problems. I think it is best that he doesn't see me, as I would have been very emotional even if we were together.<br>Bev

Bev - <p>Yes, it is difficult, but probably better that the two of you are apart... at least your H is saying that he "wants" to miss you!<p>This is a good opportunity to put emotions about your marital situation aside, breathe a sigh of relief for a few days, and start putting together a plan for yourself and your marriage. I know - I was where you are not too long ago - very difficult at first, but the "fog" will start lifting, and you will find much strength in yourself and in those who love you.<p>Janet
