[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m resurrecting this thread because it was profoundly helpful to me in many ways. I’m hoping the OP and contributors are still here. The one thing I still struggle with is activities. If I want to do something and my DH doesn’t, I still do it. Whether by myself or with the kids or friends. But..I’m finding that it makes me feel lonely because what I really want is to be sharing these experiences with a romantic partner. How do I resolve this?[/quote]

PP, thank you. I am not the OP, but I'm the PP of the S/O this came from. This thread was because of my questions and my experiences.

My answer to your question is that you have to divorce yourself from that joy of doing that activity with a significant other and just embrace the joy in the moment. You are not going to get that feedback from your partner, so you are creating a way to have joy without dealing with their BS.

Top that with something else that makes you feel good. Ice cream with the kids. Or pizza at a big table with all the kids while you have a glass of wine. F*** your husband at this point. Get manicures for the team.

You can ask me more questions. My marriage ended up with me leaving him 4.5 years ago. I can tell you what makes me and my daughter happy now. And none of it involves him.[/quote]
