Hi all
It really seems over in my marriage, after 13 years together (we were very young) and, while we still live together, my husband is never ever home before 2-3-4am due to work commitments and possibly seeing another woman.
I am not used to being alone and common friends have disappeared and so have the in-laws. I was not born in the Uk and so my family is abroad. I have some friends but am disappointed at seeing how my social life revolved around my marriage, our common friends and his family. I am now left feeling very alone, abandoned by all and very rejected. While I have some really good friends, most are not in the city I live in or have left it and so it is difficult to arrange things together. I am very sociable and fun loving, but I seem to have a real need to be with people, which I am now understanding my be a fear of being alone. I will try and tackle it, but is it normal to feel this sense of loss and abandonement or is it me and my fears?
I try my best and want to sort myself out before I even think of another relationship, so that I do not make the same mistakes. I feel I am a bit of a people pleaser to and this again may be due to my fear of being alone. Do any of you experience or have experienced similar feelings? If so, how do you cope?
Thank you for any advice and have a good day.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Life if full of choices. He made his and you will have to make yours. Keep coming to DS. We are proof that the light at the end of the tunnel (or chunnel in your case :-) is not a train!
i guess i relate more than have advice, since i am trying to find more ways to cope with this depression and loneliness myself. i'm trying to fill up my time with activities and classes, but i feel depressed and lethargic. like, why even bother? how do you make new friends? how do you feel important and cared about again?
that's why i came here though, because it's always good to have some kind of support group, no matter what kind or where. try to find things to do to occupy your time, and hopefully you will meet people with similar interests that will help you expand your social network. if anyone else has anymore advice, i am all ears as well.
i'm sorry anyone has to go through this, but c'est la vie, right?
thanks for reading, i hope it helped, if even a little.
Hang in there, you are not along.
