MJ, Just keep in mind that you are going to go through these stages and it is OK. In the beginning, I would get mad when I would regress. Now, I just try to tell myself that it is OK. I am not having a good day today. Details will be in my post later tonight. But, I am still doing my best to cope. Try to spend more time with friends. Look, I am 39 and all my friends are married with kids. I kept waiting until Friday when the loneliness would kick to call them and try to put something together. Bad move. People with kids can't move at the drop of a hat. Now, I pick a friend and call him on Wednesday night. I ask then if we could do something as friends over the weekend. They then have time to get a "yard pass" and this fills my weekends with things to do and people to do these things with. Try it. Start planning your weekends on Wednesday. Your plans are more likely to happen if you start early and it will give you something to look forward to instead of dreading the lonely weekends. Just a bit of advice from another struggling LBS...
Hey, if you feel you are spending too much time here, take a break. Do what is best for you. Hell, my W told me tonight she just bought some new stuff for her place, so I am not going anywhere anytime soon. For all I know, I will probably be the last one of us still here. Come back when you are ready. There will be no hard feelings and we will be here with open ears, my man!
Good luck on that interview. I know you are going to nail it and take your first step to your new life!
BITS never walk alone!
