coffeeloverx Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 So, I was wondering, are holidays this hard when it comes to coping? My grandma was talking about thanskgiving the other day and I seriously started bawling. It'll be my first holiday season alone and it's weird to think about. we've been NC and everything just ugh. Most days I'm fine and feel generally good, but this doing the Holidays solo thing is majorly stressing me out and putting me on the edge emotionally. Which I inturn feel pathetic for. So, any advice on this situation? I plan on keeping NC through the holidays with him and his family, but ugh.
Mr Scorpio Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 I can only speak to my experience, which seems quite different from the average poster. For me, being single during the holidays is easy. No, I don't have anyone to buy presents for. No, I don't have anyone to kiss under a missletoe. On the other-hand, I dont have to worry about compromise in regard to where I will be spending my time. I will spend it with people who care about me. My ex doesn't fit that criteria.
Exit Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 It can be rough. Of course it's painful to see all the decorations and hear the singing and see all the crap on TV and in stores and realize that you are alone at this time of year. But Scorpio above had an interesting way of looking at it, it's a whole lot less stressful to be single during the holidays.
spaniard Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 5 years ago I was dumped on 1st December. That Christmas was arguably my worst Christmas ever. I can't remember who I survived it, but I remember that I went jogging every night in falling snow and once I just sat down and cried. It was hard. My "current" break up occurred in July, but it won't be a problem, thank God, I'm almost completely over her.
