I have now withdrawn myself from society. I have just deleted my facebook, my skype, and my hotmail account as much as I can. I had been away from my partner for 8 months whilst she was waiting for an operation. I gave her the best support I could from 10k miles away, and now I find out she has been cheating and lying to me. It was all far too predictable. As I sit in what used to be our bedroom, you guys here are the only link I have to the outside world. What the fuck has become of my life. I really need someone to talk to, who actually enjoys general conversation and will respond. Am lot of the friends I have made over the past 4 years or so have come and gone. I have no one to talk to now. Yes I am feeling desperate.

" I can relate. It's very dangerous to build your whole life around one person. Like you, I feel like I have to start my life all over from scratch. In my case, it was a small core group of people I relied on -- but one way or another I have lost almost all of them in the past couple of months. It has left me feeling empty, rejected, and desperately lonely.

Problem is, desperation drives most people away. Sadness drives most people away. Until we can rebuild confidence and feel better in general, it's difficult to build new relationships.

So what's the answer? I don't know. Coming here is a good step. Take care of yourself, look after your health. Try to find anything that helps you feel better about yourself and just better in general. And try to have faith that there are good people out there just waiting for you to find them. Have faith that it's going to be better someday. That's what I'm trying to do.

Hope you feel better soon. "

" I am so sorry for your breakup. It hurts so much to be cheated on. You must be furious and hurt. You sound like a caring, supportive person. One day, another woman will appreciate you and the gifts you have to offer.

If you want to friend me and chat, I'd be more than happy to visit with you. I recently got dumped myself, but it was only a 3 month long distance relationship - still it devastated me for awhile. Am over him now though. In time what you are going through won't feel so intense as well. It just takes time. "

" I'm glad that you found us, hope it helps you not feel so alone and lifts your spirits just a bit. So sorry for the pain you have had to endure...is there a reason you disconnected all of those things that connected you? "

" My only advice is what I struggle with doing myself but I would take this time and better yourself. I would work on getting in shape, start a new hobby or join a club or organization. Or just work on picking up hours if you can and increase your finances if possible.
Like I said I tell everyone this when I hear stories like yours but I struggle with motivation myself. Sometimes I can be my worst enemy. Hang in there. "

" Oh I also wanted to add one last point.
I heard a saying recently that said the best revenge is showing that person that you are happy. I really believe that but I also believe to not concentrate on the revenge part more about making yourself happy. "
