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.
As I look back over this last year, I've come to realize how easy it is for many of us to use a rebound relationship as a method of medicating through a divorce. I recall when my former spouse walked out of our 29+ year marriage, I had this desperate feeling of wanting someone/anyone to help overcome the feeling of loneliness. For many of us who have been left behind this is such a strong emotional desire. Today even though I would like someone special in my life, I can appreciate being single & independent, and not having those emotions driving me to make a decision which I may later regret.
If you have had these feelings of desperation, I can speak from experience that if your hurting it's important to first take care of yourself before considering a rebound relationship.

I like being single.
I like sleeping single in a double bed.
I like eating icecream for supper.
I just like not havin a man around, sittin in the recliner with his feet propped up & remote in one hand, scratchin his nuts with the other... nahhh, I'll stay single for a while, I'm sure...
Don't miss it... not one bit...
when my marriage first split, I was advised (a la divorce care) to NOT date. well, no one was going to tell me what to do. I'd done nothing wrong. he was hooked up with someone. why must I sit around?
I did rebound, and I feel badly about it. I thought my emotions were sincere, they felt sincere, but the thing was, I was not myself, I was in shock but did not know it. I still feel badly about involving another person in that process.
as far as dating..i got a email from a guy asking to go out for a drink'..i wanted to throw up...i am sooooooooo far from wanting to date
1) No-iron clothing.
2) Ice cream for dinner.
3) I personally just got my queen-sized bed all set up, one side to sit up in and watch TV, the other side for sleeping.
I figure I'm about 100 years from dating, but who's counting.
Been used as a bandaid. It blows.
Single life actually isn't so bad. Just enjoy being with friends and family. :)
