Breakups & Divorce Support Group
Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
Lately just feeling numb and exhausted. Like I'm doing the bare minimum, and don't have the energy for much else. I'm assuming this is just a stage of grief. I've been separated for about seven months but the marriage had been dead for a long time before he moved out. I guess I'm in that period where I'm just taking stock of all the lost years--which I guess I couldn't do while I was still living with him. It's hard to look at those lost years and accept them. I feel a lot of uncertainty and fear about the future. Will I be able to learn how to date again? The last time I dated I was in my early twenties (twenty years ago)--how does one date in her forties? I know I want to risk falling in love again, having fun with someone again, having a partner but it all feels so terrifying right now. Not terrifying enough to take my ex back, but scary nonetheless.
Thanks for listening and being here.
The divorce and decree are in place.
Grieving lasts as long as it needs to and it goes up
And down and the roller coaster still runs. I went
Total no contact that still took me a long time to
heal And detach from him.
It takes three years to normalize after the divorce
By then you should be looking forward to your new
And different life as a single person. Not Worrying
about what the ex is up to only about your own New
healthy lifestyle.
Many believe you need to get comfortable in your own
Skin as a single person again before dating. I know i got
Lost somewhere in my marriage. The more time that passes
The more i feel like me, i am not half of a couple anymore.
