Hi everyone, not here to dig into my situation too much as I am trying to get better feelings about it and move forward. Just checking in to see who else feels blah that they are sitting alone on a Saturday night when 6 months ago your life was so much more fun!!!

Gotta love divorce....but can't wait to feel better and get back in the swing of things. Not dating for sure, but going out with friends and having fun. Most of our joint friends went with the separation unfortunately. =/

My Saturday nights are usually my spa nights. I wash my hair, do my nails, give myself a peel, take a hot bubble bath with a good book. I also plan a special dinner for myself. Think of Saturday night as date night with YOU.

I've learned to like Saturday nights. Just grilled a ribeye. Listening to Pandora. Not too bad at all.

Thanks ladies. I hope to feel like you do soon and it has gotten better week by week, maybe I am just having a rough day.

No problem!
Things will improve for you. Keep yourself busy. Do things you like to do.

I felt the same way in the early days of my divorce but now I enjoy the peace and usually watch a movie or 2 and have a nice dinner.. Catch up on sleep and news etc...you'll find your new normal eventually and it'll all feel ok!

I'm a guy and my wife is divorcing me, she goes out every weekend while I watch the kids at my place. It really frustrates me that I'm home lonely and misrable and she's happy enough to go out with her girlfriends and probably getting hit in buy guys. She's probably loves it.

Hi there,
I know exactly how you feel. I too feel just like that, I was living with someone not legally married for 20 years, got onto his affair. Now in a blink of an eye, I'm alone. Friends what friends, I have rebuild or find new ones. Feeling alone us the worse thing, that is how minds begin to wonder and that's not good. But we have this place at least to type to someone new who will listen to us...

Thanks guys so much for listening. And yes it stinks. I was with my husband for 17 years and bam. Maybe the friends feel awkward who knows, but you are right if they were real friends they would keep in contact.

And not that I am looking to date yet because in no way am I, but I joined match just to talk and find some friends and the second day I was on there I was matched with my ex husbands friend! It's like I cant do anything to get away from this.
