How long have you been together? Is counseling a possibility? Good for you for working out. I recently watched an interview of Dr. Daniel Amen by Tom Ferry. It was 2 hours long. I watched it twice. One story that he told was about a couple on the brink of divorce. The husband was being a real asshole. Dr. Amen determined that his job was causing him to act out because of the toxins (I think) that were affecting his brain. The doctor is amazing. Have either of you had head trauma? Wouldn't it be wonderful to save the relationship?

Welcome to this forum nt4. Of course, there are times we all feel lonely and some people live this every day. Others never feel lonely. I think it is both a state of mind in how we think and label our lives as well as how we act in working to have a good life or choosing not to. Transition time periods can be extremely good for us. Or we can see them as terrible and moan and groan and make them useless. As long as we call it being lonely again, we will be lonely. If we call it something more positive, like the freedom to discover who I am and what I want out of life, then we won't be lonely much. Every human has times of feeling lonely or alone. You may be calling "alone" as "lonely" when it certainly doesn't have to be lonely. This is your time to rediscover yourself and what you want in life. You can waste this time or you can use it wisely. Give yourself two years to start to create a new life with friends, social groups, exercise or yoga classes, church meetings or classes, art classes, book clubs, volunteering, and on and on. Also spend some time on here responding to others as that will take your mind off of yourself by giving support to others. Again, welcome to this forum and I wish you the best.
