This week I moved out of the house, and into a cabin on the outskirts of town. It is small, and it does not have running water..or any water for that matter. I cannot get my DSL up and running, or my wireless router, but for the most part I am very happy.

I have a great deck for yoga or meditating, and i finally got music, a mainstay.

If any one here has gone through a separation, i would appreciate your wisdom.
 
No wisdom here AS, but I'm sending you hugs and a :rose:

Actually I think the best advice I can give after any traumatic event is to really take the time and effort to look after yourself, and to as much as you can keep yourself busy.

Your new place sounds nice :) I hope you are happy there. Is it a permanent move or a temporary one? Either way, I hope you make it your own and it is a place of freedom, understanding and joy.

Thanks Jen. I feel more peaceful than i have in years, and people in my church are telling me that i seem more relaxed. They, by the way, are handling all this surprisingly brilliantly.

Have plenty of experience on separation as well as on isolated cabins or life in wilderness....... but I would not really like to talk about it in public.
But if there is anything specific I might help you about, feel free to PM me.

Sorry to hear about the seperation, as I have been through it in just the past few weeks I do understand. The best advice I can give is don't give up on life because someone has given up on you. Good luck and take care
 
Living alone for 3 years after being in a rel. for seven was probably the happiest I've ever been with a living situation.

I mean I *love* my husband and everything, but living with another human for me is always work. Living alone is a joy. Enjoy your time to regroup.
 
No wisdom here AS but enjoy the space, time and meditation you earnt it xx
 
When I separated from my husband I was 43 years old and had never lived alone before - really :rolleyes: The almost two years that I did, before I moved to be with Master, were spent learning about ME. I learned I could cope on my own and that I enjoyed having the freedom to do what I liked when I liked.

Of course I got lonely, I cried sometimes, I had money worries and an ex who tried to make things difficult when we were working out the separation agreement. But I've found that underneath the quiet submissive exterior there is a backbone and there is strength that I did not know I was capable of. It's been a wonderful learning experience and even now that I am in a loving D/s relationship that strength does come in handy :)
 
I always thought it would be really cool to have a cabin...have fun!
 
When i left the ex 'person' in 2003, all that mattered to me, & my own state of happiness was that i had finally 'left'. If i had to live in a wet cardboard box after leaving, i STILL would have been happier there than where i was before i had left.
Once i left, being alone was never an issue. i lived with that ex 'person' for over 5 years, and many times prior to leaving, many times even with him being in the same room as i, i'd never felt more alone. i felt more alone being in that relationship, than i ever felt being out of it.

arctic-stranger, as i read your first post which started this thread, my Master was cooking dinner a few feet away so i read it to Him and we discussed it. He finds the idea of that cabin to be very appealing. i would too, but i NEED running water.

Regardless, best of luck and good wishes to you.

If you have running water and electricity and dont have to split your own wood to make fire.
It may even be fun in summer, but it is hard work in winter time, trust me.

i've done the 'have to split wood to make fire' routine. Hard work .. not much fun at all, especially once your fingers become frozen and you constantly drop logs onto not nearly frozen enough toes. i don't miss that ... at all.

It's only in the last couple of years that I've lived in a place without a fireplace. I have to say I don't miss the chopping and hauling in of wood but I do miss the look and feel of a fire - there's just something about the flicker of flames on a chilly night :)
 
I dont miss the chopping either :D
I still have fireplace there so I can enjoy fire when I feel like it, but there are other ways of heating too and I am not the one taking care of the wood or anything else anymore.
However it may be nice to live "naturally", I still shiver when I remember those times.
I actually lived like that with two small kids for a while *sigh*
 
I could never, ever imagine living in a cabin in the woods.

I can imagine the wonderful feeling of escaping a life you have outgrown, and using a space in time to gather your thoughts, dreams and ideas before taking the next step.

Call me strange (hence the name) but i love splitting wood. The sauna cabin has a wood burning unit (yes, SAUNA cabin) but i have boring oil heat. Logs split really well when it gets -20.

I do miss the shower though...and the dish water....

But last night i set up two mosquito coils, and did a 20 minute meditation on my front deck, overlooking the forget-me-nots.

I think all healthy and adventurous males love that :D
All mine did anyway, and I dont care for the other kind.

Just to clarify...for me this move is a GOOD thing...

Then best wishes for your new life from my heart . I hope you get what you want in life . b. :rose:
