I don't miss my soon-to-be-ex-husband after he's been gone for a week

I don't miss my soon-to-be-ex-husband after he's been gone for a week - does this mean I don't love him?

My husband and I separated about two months ago, but he's been in and out of our house for various reasons (usually to get more of things out of the house). Well, he was gone for an entire week and I didn't miss him once or even wonder what he was up to. I did feel lonely at times, and once I picked up a photo of us together and thought, "Well, that's too bad..." but I didn't' really feel that sad. I'm the one who initiated the split and I keep having doubts...doesn't this sound like I don't love him? Shouldn't I miss him a little if I love him?

Bengal	You sound very young. You gotta be 18-23. Here's MY question: If YOU initiated the the split, and you DON'T miss him, why do you CARE whether u love him or not??? Isn't that a question to ponder BEFORE you initiate the split?? I mean, it sounds SO shallow. You question of whether you love him or not is purely selfish, it has nothing to do with his well being or benefit. You just wanna know for your own conscience, "yes I really loved him, but this is the best for both of us." Get outta here with this nonsense. He's better off without a shallow broad like you.

ladybug	Glad to hear that you can move forward with your life. Good Luck!

Loving Life Now	You are emotional numb from hurt and self protecting yourself from him right now

Debbie	I would say your attitude shows you made the right decision.

DM	No, it just means you are getting used to your new reality...the one you chose. If you love the guy DO something about it.

dot	Why do you have doubts Mary ? You feel lonely because you have been used to him being there This is normal but you will soon adjust to it

jdrumming	It's a pretty good sign you aren't exactly devastated huh? Maybe feeling a bit relieved he is out of your hair? Get a dog if you are lonely. Lots less trouble.

Pearl	If you've been living under stress for quite a while, his not being there is probably a relief. If you want to work out your problems, you should be living together.

SherryF	Everyone takes a separation in different ways. Maybe you don't hurt because your hurt was before the separation. That's why you imitated it in the first place. If you really love someone the hurts not so bad.

High Roller	No, it just means that your stress level has decreased and you feel more relaxed with him gone. You may start missing him after a while, but it won't be because you want him back. It's just that you were in love with him and our feelings don't turn on and off, even when we know it's best to part.

Morningstar	It hasn't been that long since he has been gone. Since you asked him to leave, it is probably a sign that you are happy with your decision. Be sure of what you are doing. Some other woman is going to want him soon. There are always plenty of women out there looking for a good man. If you are done with him that's fine, but be prepared to be totally out of the picture when he is no longer available.

Al B	That depends upon how the marriage was. If you rushed in too fast, that may be the reason that you don't miss him or if he was abusive or even if he was cheating on you. If there was a strain in the relationship at the last it might just be that you don't miss that. You do have to worry perhaps a bit if you have shut your emotions down because although that could be good for now, you have to remember to turn them back on eventually.

Artiste	It appears you are out of love with him , which is nothing but good! Keep moving forward - better things are ahead!
