Oh darl, It's completely natural to feel a bit confused - it's only been six months. I still think about the split with my DH and that was close to 10 years ago LOL! It's natural to have regrets and be happy all at the same time. All I can say, is that's the decision I made at the time, hindsight is sometimes a beautiful thing but we can only deal with the situation we're faced at the time and we have to trust that we made a decision based on those circumstances.
I know what you're going through. Officially separated 24 Oct (living apart for a few months but still seeing each other & sleeping together), his birthday 2 Nov (yes this Sunday), 3rd anniversary 13 November - yes ALL this year.
I've got the day off work, going to spend it with friends & they're going to let me do what I need to do to get through it.
Maybe you could light two candles on the day - one to signify that it is a day that still has some meaning to you and was a day that you used to celebrate - and the other to remind yourself that you give yourself meaning - and you are strong enough to handle this journey by yourself.
the day still signifies a period of your life where you had hopes and dreams for a life with someone you loved. I like the idea of a new tradition - but maybe it's important for your girls to know how happy you were on your wedding day to their Dad? Maybe you could give them each a photo of you getting married and then put the rest of the wedding pictures into a 'vault' until they're grown up? (chuck out the ones you don't like or give them to him!).
Ignore me if I'm way off the mark or outta line here...
