Mrs. Amok and I are separated. Why am I telling you?

[CanuckAmok]

Because you're my "single-serving friends", and because you don't know either of us well enough to judge us.

Sad and alone today, and that's all I have to say.

[fertilizeonarbusto]

1. You're not alone

HUGS

[zanana]

2. Hang in there, Canuck Amok.

And keep letting us know how you're doing. Do you have people to talk to?

[populistmom]

3. Sorry

Marriage can be a rough ride sometimes for sure. Whatever ultimately ends up happening, I hope you both find peace and happiness down the road.

4. Whether it's reconcillation you want or permanent separation

I hope it works out and I wish you courage, strenth and patience. Please ask for all the all the support that you need.

5. How long have you been separated?

Or did this just happen?

[Robb]

6. What they all said

far better than I could. :hug:

7. "Single-serving friends"

Heh. :D

Hang in there CA. Feel free to vent or whine at will, that's what SSF's are for. ;)

8. I'm sorry.

:hug:

Hope everything works out for the best for you and you find happiness in whatever comes.

[supernova]

9. Sorry to hear that CanuckAmok

:-(

I've been there. Whatever happens works out for the best and I hope you both find what you seek.

[MissMillie]

10. Love to you both

and whatever road you take, may it bring you both peace.

11. That's Too Bad -- I Went Through a Seperation a Few Years Ago

There's always new life. You have time now to find different interests or new friends. If you have kids, make sure to stay close to them. Don't burn any bridges. And hang in there.

[benburch]

12. Been there.

It is no fun.

But it does get better.

Allow yourself some time to grieve and feel sad. That's normal and healthy.

Then you need to get yourself a good lawyer, and you need to not give up more than the law and your conscience requires.

Then comes the time to look for some new friends who were not friends of both of you. Mutual friends often "take sides" in such a thing, and that can be quite painful.

As for eventually dating; my experience is probably not all that useful to you. I am a rather kinky person, and found all of my subsequent lovers (and eventually my new wife of the last five years) on the Internet. And the Internet does not really work all that well for people who have fairly "vanilla" sexual preferences.

Good luck!!!!

13. That just can't be easy. I am so sorry that you have to deal

with this. You and MrsAmok are in my thoughts and I will be hoping you soon reach the best possible solution. You are cared about.

Hugs,Laura

14. I'm sorry to hear you're in pain.

I wish you well. No employees of the Acme Judgement Co. here.

[liberalhistorian]

17. "Acme Judgment Company?"

LOL, good one, David!

[GOPisEvil]

19. I stole it from M*A*S*H*

:-)

[liberalhistorian]

15. I'm sorry, Canuck,

I've never been married but I've been around and seen enough to know how hard and painful it is. Whatever the situation is, I really, really hope you're able to work it out if that's what you want to do. And you're not alone, you have us and we're here for you!

[Melsky]

16. Best wishes to you

breakups suck! There's not much to say that hasn't been said by other posters. I'm sending good vibes your way.

[Iris]

18. This is a real bummer.

I'm sorry you are in pain.

[moof]

20. CanuckAmok that sure does suck

it's not fair to be so far down on your luck
ten minutes already, yet nothing helpful to say
so just know that the positive waves are now headed your way.

Hang in there, we're pullin for ya.

21. ~hugggggs~

I'm sorry things didn't work for you two.

A book that's helped me countless times, and that I've recommended countless times, is Pema Chodron's "When Things Fall Apart".

Peace to you...
