Oh Jeez, so many.
- Listening to my euro-pop music without someone saying turn it off, it's awful
- Having a fully stocked bar and not have to worry about it. It will still be there tomorrow and the next day and the day after that.
- The money I have saved by not supporting two people, even though he had a job paying twice what I did. He hated contributing. I can save now.
- Less laundry. Man jeans are a pain in the ass.
- A less stressed household over all...It's very peaceful now.
- Eating grilled cheese for dinner for a week straight and no one says anything.
- Not having to buy quick bar food type of food for when he is all of the sudden hungry at 11pm
- Taking care of me now. Not having to worry about him at all. It really is a relief.
- Taking pride in my appearance again. I turned in a 70 year old hausfrau because I was so depressed.
- My back pain is just GONE. When I left, it went away within a week, only came back when he did. When he left, it left. It's mind-boggling.
- My house is clean!
- I sleep so well because someone hasn't started drinking at 4am after he fell asleep at 8pm.
- Decorating without anyone else in mind other than me.
Dying my hair back blonde...first thing I did. He hated it.
My codie self feels guilty for even writing this out. But, I am much happier now. I still have moments, and I still love him. But, I have learned that I can love him and not have him in my life at the same time.
