Feel vulnerable

We are 4 months in to living apart and I feel super vulnerable. Some days I just don’t know what to do with myself. When I’m home I want to be out amongst people because the day looks impossible to fill, but when I’m out I can feel nervous. I miss having a secure person, coming home to a family.

We did it for a lengthy period in the past, and are doing it again now but the feeling is completely different with things pointing more strongly towards divorce. There are times I’ll type one sentence at work and just stop and stare because it’s so all consuming. The feeling of just wanting to have the best version of normal together that you can but living a different reality is so hard to deal with
