"Wii, it's funny you mention that men have a tougher time because our families are our social life. We focus everything on them. This is sooooooooooooooooo true for me but I thought I was an anomoly- a hermit, an introvert"

Yep, same here. I even isolated myself from my brothers sad to say. I am making up for this now in a big way.

The "my family is my life" fit me to a T also. This is why this divorce and her affair hit me so hard. That and my Son was grown and I was dealing with the empty nest as well. It was a tripple punch to the gut. And I did turn to drinking to numb me a bit and get me through it.

whatsis said:

"she was the career woman always looking to better herself professionally and I was just the everyday go to work come home kind of guy."

Again, fit me to a T. She did talk about retiring and used to complain about her job. Now she tells everybody she has so much to do and so many people to help that she is not retiring from her social worker position. It's amazing how she has so much luuuuuv for everybody else, including strangers and has nothing but animosity and indiference for the man that loved her for 23 years. Go figure.

But like the both of you I am slowly getting my own life and have made some friends. Some are female even. But I do not have a GF or Lover at this point. Not sure I am even ready for that.
