A lonely road

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

The thought of dating again scares me to death. I'm in the early stages of separation and the pain is still strong. Unfortunately I have no friends and no family and I live in the middle of nowhere (seriously, my mail comes from a post office 15 miles away) so this support group is my only connection.

The worst is knowing he's with another person giving them the attention and affection that used to be showered on me. I know those feelings all too well and thinking about another person receiving them hits me to the core. Jealousy, regret, loneliness.

I'm going to a divorce support group on Thursday. It is at a church and I''m not religious, but I''m going so I can speak and hug people going through the same thing. He still tells me he doesn't know what he wants and that he hasn't thought of divorce, but I feel like he's waiting to see if it pans out with "her" before filing. At that point, I'll be at another lost point in my life.

I feel lonely and betrayed and would like a close female friend so I can get a woman's perspective. No relationship, just companionship to help each other heal from these wounds. It's hard to go from being married 18 years to being alone and the advice and support guys give me is not always the best or most healthy. I am going to try a DivorceCare meeting soon.
