I know how you feel. Though I'm not remotely ready to date it's tempting to go out with someone just so I'm not sitting home alone while my husband is at his apartment banging his floozy. I'm catching up on some reading and I booked some spa appointments to pass the time. A walk with the dog seems like a very healthy way to spend your time. Enjoy!

I'm already feeling better actually. I had just got home from work earlier but I've eaten some pizza with my daughter and now I'm gonna go drag my old dog around lol! Too many good things in my life to keep letting a past relationship drag me down. Now time to go sweat out some of this pizza haha! Enjoy ur reading Missy I'm starting a newer biography on Henry VIII, I don't know if u ever saw the show time series The Tudors but it was really well done. Looking forward to some reading myself! Husband banging his floozy lol, that cracked me up..puts a nice comical spin on things huh?

:( I'm with you guys. I'm not in the best spirits today. I started reading a book called Spilt: memoir of a divorce and I think that was a mistake. I think it tapped into my emotions just a bit to much. I ended up reading the entire thing today. I'm glad I finally got to the end where she is okay with the divorce and knew it was for the best. Maybe I need to get into history instead. :)

Kbbcoop77, It's good to hear that I will eventually get to a point where he isn't on my mind every second. Gives me hope.

I hope you both have a nice evening. I just got my daughter to bed, chickens put up, dogs fed, and now I'm going to sit, watch a show and try to end this horrible day on some type of positive note.

Hugs Milly! Maybe it's different for everyone but I'm over 5 months now and I go hours without thinking about her THANK GOD. The beginning was paralyzing that's for sure. I still have moments but can usually find something to do to get my mind rerouted. Remember it's all in ur own mind so u can do it! It has to get better or the entire planet would be miserable as we have all been here so remember that too! Just a side note but for me personally getting outside and walking or anything physical helps immensely. I guess it's the endorphins like they say but it does help. Hang in there and pet a chicken for me!!

Kbbcoop my sense of humor is all I have left. What's the name of the new biography? I'm a total Anglophile. I was wondering earlier if I can make it to England for Richard III's burial next March.

You've got this Millie. One more hour and you will have survived another day.

It was published in 2009 by Lucy Wooding simply called Henry VIII. I started it a while ago but got sidetracked lol, but it's really well written and has great reviews. A trip to England sounds great, I actually went there about 30 years ago (has it been that long?) but had a blast as my dad's side of the family is there, he was born in Worcester. I need to get back there one day. We camped for three days at the Bromyard Folk Festival.. that was so fun. I actually spent the whole time with my second cousin, a gal named Kerry that I would've hooked up with if we weren't related, we had a great time, took the train to London, rode the subway everywhere..that was a great time *sigh* I should call her lol. Then the airlines haha

I feel the same way, hard to get motivated when thinking about all of the couples out there. I don't think of my ex as much but sometimes I miss our couple time, a lot. it's not even 10:00 here but I'm heading to bed and Please don't let me dream about him......please.....

Haha Missy..banging his floozy..love it.

It is so tempting to want to go out and date just to not sit home. Plus, gosh..it gets a little lonely sometimes...it's nice to have someone to cuddle with and share things with. I find when I start thinking about what he's doing, and who he is doing it with.. that's when I feel like I need to date ASAP! I need a boyfriend STAT! I recently found out though..that I don't want to date. Until who knows when. I just don't have a desire to be in a relationship now. I don't think in all my 41 yrs I have ever felt fine just doin' my thang. Yessir! I am totally loving the freedom and independence right now. I really would rather cultivate good friendships and an active social life.

A breakup has to be one of the most traumatic things one can experience. Just the fact that it takes months ..years possibly to truly get over a love is a little mind-blowing to me. Coop..so well said..and you made me laugh..the whole world would be miserable if it didn't get better! LOL! It does get better but why does it have to be so slooowwwww..ugh.
Kudos to you, Coop for being active when you are getting lonely or bored..it is such a healthy outlet. It is a total mood booster.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Panther I am feeling the same way right now. I was always the girl who was afraid to be alone, but now I have no other choice. I do go out with friends but no guys approach me or talk to me. I have no guy friends either. So I just decided to not even worry about guys when I go out. I don't want to be in a relationship right now anyway until I work out some of the "stuff" that happened from my past relationship. The last thing I want to do is get back into another relationship like that. How he can move on so quickly into a relationship is beyond me, but maybe it is easier for him. Weekends are the worst for me, but I made sure to book up this weekend so I am not lonely. And I am learning that I can even go out by myself on a Sat night. Who cares anymore!!! Life is too short to sit at home on the couch crying!!!
