I am so sorry to hear that. I really am.

The thing is, I have been hurt really bad in the past and it took so long to get over it, even with friends and family around.

But this is different. This is a woman I have given seven years of my life to. For that time we had been there for each other emotionally, leaning on each other in bad times.

Up here in Buffalo, there is no family and the people I call friends I can count on one hand because I am very picky about who I call friends, and they are not local, either. I have heard of nasty divorces and I have heard of amicable ones as well. I just have a desire for the latter, with friendship and conversation. You know what I mean??

Friendship may be a bit much to ask right now.

My ex and I have what may be "loosely" termed a "civil" relationship.

Part of the cost of divorce, at least in my case, is that we are not friends.

This Christmas season, that has hit home harder than i expected, but that's life.

Can you move back home?
