New to the forum, looking for some friendly voices. 5 months into a break up. 2 wonderful boys (Connor 4 & Jacob 2)
Not looking forward to Christmas much thought it might be a good time to find people to chat with.
Andy
New here too, but as they say chin up. You never know what's round the corner
🙂 🙂
Hi
And welcom to you both,
As said you have to look for some positives, like not being with your ex means one less person to be nice to at christmas and one less present 😉
Darren
Not sure that is a positive!!!
Anyway guys are you seeing the kids over Xmas?
Hi guys, welcome to the forum. I would imagine that Christmas is difficult after a break up.
Do you have family that you could spend some time with over the festive period ?
Gooner
Not sure that is a positive!!!

Oh I agree with Darren, not being with my ex is a definite bonus - even when I was married to her, I would 'escape' for a while on Christmas day.
I guess so but it is sad that the relationship reaches that low - I suppose that is why she is now your ex!!
I was watching the new this morning and they were saying that more divorces are initiated in January after the Xmas period and that Xmas means loads of "petty" arguments start due to the pressures of being together as a family.
One woman phoned in to say that her husband hadn't spoken to her for three days because she had a bite of his slice of toast on Boxing day!!!!
Hi Guys,
My names Duane I'm 27 and have a little girl called Ava, shes 3 (next week) and me and her mother have been separated for over a year.
Thought it would be cool to say hello and have some other to speak to on here
anyway hope you all had good Christmases with your children.
Duane
Hi Duane,
Welcome to the forum. Do you get to see your daughter often?
