Lonely

I used to be able to handle being lonely. I would spend weekend after weekend alone at home in highschool and it really didn't bother me too much. After highschool I didn't mind the loneliness, and was able to go about my days without feeling so horrible.

After the GF has gone I still can't adjust my life around coming home to nothing but my books, journal and computer. I need new friends in a bad way. I know it's possible, but I find that I'm so impatient now a days and can't sit still and read a book when I know it's good for me. I suppose it's still early coming off of the pot... only been a week (roughly), and the ex told me about her new BF yesterday, so I have that to deal with.

I can only laugh at all of the things that are happening around me these days... laugh and pray for that sun to poke it's bright ass over the mountains one day!

why would your ex tell you that she's got a new bf?

well at least you still seem to have your sense of humour :o) Congrats on getting off the pot, yes it will take about three weeks before its gone, so it is early days, but well done x The sun will come again.

I feel for ya. I know it's really difficult right now, but if you can begin to look around you and it sounds like you already are, and find the things that are still there, it won't be so bad.

The grass is always greener, you know, so now is the time to do some of those things you were thinking you wished you could do while you were tied up with your girlfriend.

Can you think of some?

I'm not sure why the GF told me about the new squeeze? I think she tries to be as supportive as she can, but I don't think she can help but show off her happiness from time to time. Deep down I think she wants me to suffer as much as I made her suffer, which makes sense. You reap what you sow right... Basically I was an ass, and treated her like dirt, so I'm a little happy she's happy with her new boy toy... I'm not "happy" happy.... just glad that I can move on with my life finally, however painful it may be at first.

    Hello all! I guess I am here for some advice. A bit about me. I am married and just had my 8th anniversary. We have three kids. I had a hysterectomy after the youngest. Before I met my DH, I was in an abusive relationship which left me with some issues. Sex has never been our most cohesive area. He has quite the sex drive, while I am more of a "take it or leave it" person. I love the intimacy...

    On July 25th, 2019 I had surgery for a torn ACL, this was suppose to mean 2 weeks of no weight baring but while in surgery they noticed a micro fracture as well so my 2 weeks no weight baring became 6 weeks. Just 4 days ago I was able to start weight baring I was told use a crutch or cane to start as needed for balance. When I went to start walking I was a bit wobbly as expected I walked a little...
