CM2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Thursday which is supposed to be thanksgiving but it's also my STBXW's and mines 4yr wedding anniversary. My wife and I are currently seperated I just wanna get some advice from those you've been before me with this situation. How do go about this day? I do acknowledge it because since it was a special day in our lives? Do I just saw screw it, it's just another day? How did some of you handle your first anniversary without your spouse? Helpful hints and advice are welcomed!!

nobmagnet Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 i got tarted up grabbed me mates and hit the town!! It didnt stop the pain but the new clothes my, best mates and the smiles made it much much much better. I dont advicate this to everyone but I recon a completely different day for you from now on. It took a whole lot of courage to go out as I havent for many years and I actually enjoyed it. Do something you dont normally do with your mates. Try summot new. Challenge yourself that day and enjoy the feeling of doing something different. xx
Author CM2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Author Posted November 24, 2009 Are you speaking to/seeing her? i talk to her on and off at times. The only times I've seen her was when I needed a ride to the dr.'s office because I broke a bone in my foot and couldn't drive but other then that, that's it.....
LostInLA Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 This will be my first Thanksgiving since my break up (I was in a 10 year relationship...ugh!) and I feel you have a couple of options: 1. Make sure you have plans. Get yourself invited to a friend's or several T-day festivities, just make sure you have SOMETHING lined up! OR 2. Make it ok for yourself to be by yourself. Just make sure you sort of plan out what it is that you will do, like get a prepped meal from somewhere and then eat at home in front of the tv while watching movies. Something along those lines. It's going to be hard either way, but it's up to you. I had originally thought I was going to be home and have my sister come over but as it turns out, I got invited to a friend's house and I'm sort of new in this circle of friends so I'm going to make the most of it! Good luck, you'll make it through!
Author CM2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Author Posted November 26, 2009 Yeah imma go help some less fortunate people and get them some food, and then go help out my parents, and go to a couple of friends house and maybe go to the movies.....
