DH used to be my best friend. Now I'm not sure what he is anymore. He is in recovery but so freaken sensitive about everything, even when it has nothing to do with him. I started back to work this week after a year long mat leave and he has not made things easy.

I miss the man who was my best friend, the one who listened and supported me. I see glimmers of that man sometimes, just enough to see what we no longer have.

Feeling sad tonight.

I miss my best friend too. She is also in recovery, but the opposite- shows no emotion to me. Hang in there. It does get easier.

I miss having a best friend.

I feel the same way. I was just thinking about this the other day. I feel that I can still talk to my AH like a normal person, tell him about our day, and have basic conversations with him. But, confiding in him? Telling him what's really on my heart and what I feel in my soul? Nope. I can't do that anymore. I miss the best friend he was, too. So sorry you are sad about that today, sending you great big hugs virtually through the computer!

Ugh. This is such a hard thing. I feel the same thing. Sending you hugs.

Feel the same thing with my RAW. I had read the first year was the hardest, thought it wasa crock (things couldn't be worse than when they are drinking), but the intimacy that runs like hot and cold water, confiding and general conversations are strained at times.

I do a lot of animal watching in my yard. Enough feeders out there that it looks like the call of the wild first thing in the morning. Has been a calming thing for me while I have my morning coffee.

Hugs all around.

I figure Zombies gots their brains.

They may look sort of the same . . . but they aint the same.




Beware! They want to eat your Brains! Brains! Brains!

Do not feed them.

Hammer, you make me laugh at things I never thought I would find myself laughing at!!

You very effectively illustrate, for us, what a monster of a disease this is.

I miss who I thought was my best friend too. But my a-exbf I guess was not it! Sometimes it just hurts! Take care.

ZenMe

I start to miss my x who was my also my best friend...but then I start to remember things like having to twist her arm to take me to a DRs appointment and then having her bitch non stop.

Not what a best friend does in my book, after remembering those events the wistfulness fades.

It hurts.... it does...it is part of the package....it is part of YOUR healing process.

Sending healing vibes from my heart to yours!
