Although I know that this journey is the path that I must take to come out successful on the other side the fact that I am lonely is killing me not that I want to jump and date but I do want to have someone to talk to friends with mutual interest or you and someone just to text and say how are you I am resentful that he is not lonely and I am I've tried online dating I hate it it seems like a bunch of weirdos and purves that no one else wants I try to keep myself busy with school and work but at the end of the day doesn't everyone want some kind of companionship in the same breath I'm afraid of companionship right now I guess what I'm looking for is a friendship with someone does anyone have any suggestions of any groups or websites to meet new people or suggestions on dealing with loneliness I hate this part as much as I don't want to miss him I have not felt this lonely in years

Me too - I have played around a little bit with meeting people online. Not ready to jump into a relationship either but am ready to meet new people and start fresh. You are just having a rough day. Keep chatting with me (and all of us) on here and you will feel better. One step at a time.....as much as I hate hearing that phrase lol. =)

I am felling the same way right now. I constantly look at the clock just waiting for each day just to pass and be over. I hate being lonely.

We have to keep positive and wait for the time when we start to feel better. It is so hard to be with someone for so long and adjust to this. Do something nice for yourself today, get your nails or hair done, read a book, watch one of the football games on, whatever you can to relax.

I am there too. I have been isolating and need to get out. In the beginning divorce care and meetups helped me get out and meet people. I do have a male friend no attraction just friends and we go out to eat and text.

I know that it's better to get out and not be by myself. I am working on getting back out there.

We will find our way. My faith has helped me get through.

I am a man in the same boat as my wife told me she doesn't love me anymore after 18 years. She seems to have moved on quite easily (I wonder why?). I am miserable and lonely too. Not for a relationship but a female friend would be nice for a woman's perspective as this hell unfolds.

SBC1238 10/23/2016

I thought I had posted this but didn't go through so sorry if it shows up twice. I am a female sounding board - not an I person version but I will give it to you good or bad I the interim if you want it. You seem like a great guy.....you will get through this and end up better in the end.

It is really surreal to think we used to be surrounded by friends, every weekend was filled with food and friends. Since we separated......crickets. The loneliness is excruciating and I am only at the beginning.

SBC1238 10/23/2016

So true..... it just sucks and what did we do to deserve it?

I am crushed, I had always planned for us to have a secure happy retirement, at 54 my wife and love of my life for 20 years decides that she wants a bum who hasn't worked for 16 years and is an alcoholic because she loves his Irish accent. I have always given my ex wife everything, now she has the house she has the furniture I am sleeping in my grandsons bed, no home, looking at the future and thinking I cannot do it again, I cannot trust, I am bitter. What the hell did I do wrong, I don't know, she won't tell me, divorced on the grounds of unreasonable behavior on my part, I was advised to accept it but not sign to say I agree with it, but I honestly don't know what my unreasonable behaviour was, it's killing me.

I am lonely too. It's only been two months but we were married 22 years, together 24. He has a good network of family/friends while I focused on my kids. They are nearly grown now and busy so that leaves me with virtually nobody. It's devastating. I am 51 and I've noticed a lot of people in that age range are nearing retirement and have money/time to be out and about. I was a SAHM for many years (big mistake) and am starting over job-wise and want to go back to school too (only have an AA). In that sense, I don't have much in common with similar age peers so that makes socializing hard too. Not sure where to turn and am relying on my 19 yo DD too much.
