Separated and conflicted. Is this normal?

Separated, still emotionally tangled up in it, and honestly trying to figure out what “moving forward” is supposed to look like at this age.

Some days I miss companionship. Some days I miss intimacy. Some days I just miss having someone to text when something good happens.

I’m not really interested in pretending I have it all figured out. I still wear my wedding ring. I still love my wife. But I’m also lonely, confused, and trying to understand what’s normal in this stage of life.

Guess I’m just wondering if other people around this age have felt this conflicted too.

Selfie Sunday

We received some much needed rain, but that didn't stop us from getting our ruck done

Boho Chic & Still Rocking

What I wore for work. My husband said, "Oh no... you do not leave the house in that outfit without some photos first." 😁😉

A (57F) post-salon selfie for your Sunday!

Straight out of a trim and blowout a couple of days ago. I have diligently photoshopped out all the tiny bits of hair that it turned out were stuck to my nose when I took this pic :-) Have a lovely (Mothers’) day everyone!
