Loneliness Support Group
Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation. Loneliness is more than the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected and alienated from other people. The lonely person may find it difficult or even impossible to have any...

I’ve met someone, we have connected on a level that I have never experienced before! I’ve often lofted from relationship to relationship, often connecting, but not like this. This is so real, have I been asleep the whole time, have I only now begun to wake up to this reality?
This was an email/blog that my ex-wife sent me, later recanting that it was a blog that was meant to be sent out to a group of friends. As I read her statement, I thought, how nice, she cheated on me, with multiple partners and after so many years, she found her one. In a previous post I discussed Ambiguous Loss, a journey that is long and lonely. I remember, the second year after our divorce, I got tired of the fear, the pain, the anger that comes along with a broken heart. However, I told myself that I would need to let go to feel better, (Something that took me a while).
Yet, that proclamation allowed for protection, whenever she talked about details about the affairs I was not troubled by them, I was glad to be released from her flaky nature. We have two daughters, so we cross paths at family events and logistics. Now, in the middle of my journey of Ambiguous Loss, she has found her “One”? While I choose to look at this as an opportunity to develop/enhance my processing skills. I first must admit that it hurt to hear/read that she found her “One”. Next, I will process both of these and see where I go next.

I have a possible new diagnosis to discuss with my therapist tomorrow. It might be the answer to a question that I have had since I was 19. It's called Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD). It happens to a large percentage of people with ADHD, which I have. Actually, I have been watching videos about ADD/ADHD lately. I remember my Mom telling me that she watched a show on ADD and she...

Actually, our Governor called a State of Emergency. I pray that my electric doesn't go out. I had already planned to stay home all weekend to recuperate from a cold and do online training for my job. That will take many hours. I am worried for the outside kitties. I hope your weekend goes better for you.
Thank you for your replies.
GreenEyes727, we were married for 7 years, together for 9 years. Two kids, the first one is from her first marriage and the second one we had together,
Tropicaloo, yes, I have blocked her emails, and set a boundary. A boundary of only accepting emails that pertain to our kid.
Perhaps it is her guilt. Perhaps she is seeking attention. Perhaps she is inflicting pain.
You, my friend, have to see that this is not about you as yourself. It is about her own personality defects and character defects. Do not blame yourself for her inability to "be normal." She would have done an "oops" if I was her former husband.
As someone who has a family full of people like this, please know that "the one" she has currently found will very likely not last either. All those affairs during your marriage were her fantasy life or her narcissism and if I was betting, I would say this is simply another fantasy. Very wise to be glad to be released from whatever hold the past has on you. Now you can keep the focus on your beautiful children and maybe providing them with the emotional stability or good character that is absent in their mom.
