Alone for Christmas coz Fiance is Overseas!

[Ange1979]

Hello Everybody!

I can't believe it's Christmas next week. The year - to me - has just FLOWN!

Anyhow, I'm having Christmas alone this year - and I'll be almost 34 weeks pregnant! My fiance is in the UK getting divorced, and I'm in Australia (also getting divorced! lol), but he will be back in January - and we'll be going through the immigration process and arranging fiance visas and stuff like that.

So it's exciting stuff.

But really hard being away from my fiance. I was walking through the shopping centre today and started crying because of the Christmas music!!! LOL! I just miss my fiance so much. We talk several times a day, but it is a hard time definitely. He will be having Christmas alone as well. He will see his sons for a few hours, and then he will be on his own too. So yeah...hard stuff!

Has anybody else had Christmas alone before?

I don't actually have family, so it's a kinda unique situation I guess!

I would like to do something good though. Fiance and I will definitely be on the phone a few times taht day for sure. Video conferencing too thank goodness!

Anybody else in this situation too fo being alone for Christmas?

Hi I havent been alone for xmas before and I cant imagine what it is like, but I just wanted to say hang in there and when your fiance gets back you can have your own special xmas and look forward to the arrival of your baby and your new life together.

will be thinking of you, having Orphan's Christmas here in Coffs too. I'll have my kids and DF, but no other family, and we've flung the door open for any waifs and strays that care to join us

i had christmas on Hayman island once when i was working there. It was kind of wierd, just felt a bit like another day except they put on a great spread for the staff. It is hard not being around loved ones when everyone else seems to be. But, it will come and go pretty quickly and soon your DF will be by your side for the birth of your precious bundle. Hope you get through ok.

The first Christmas I lived with my now DH I spent pretty much alone. I was 18yrs old & his parents hadn't accepted me into the family.
My parents were in SA & my 2 sisters & their families lived up North from me & I didnt drive or have a car.
DH's family were having a big luncheon (something I now get to enjoy too) but his parents, more his mum I think, wouldn't allow me to join him. So along he went spending half the day with his family while I sat at home crying. I didnt even have my pet cat at that stage so I was totally alone

Later that afternoon DH's brother rang & asked if we wanted to join them for his wife's side of the family Christmas BBQ. So along we went late that afternoon & so I got SOME type of Christmas that year but still felt very rejected & alone.

Thank goodness for video conferencing so you get to see your DF on the day

well BHL is rearly home for Christmas or birthday or our annavirsery and this year is no different, its hard but you do get though it...

As you are on your own ( without kidlets yet ) maybe you could ring up a few local old folks homes and see if they have anyone there who will be alone and willing to have a visitor or see if you can help out in a shelter for the homeless or something, as it will take your mind of been alone...

otherwise just take it for what it is another day closer to you both get to be together again
