Hi, I was here awhile back. Struggled to keep the marriage together, he finally took the step to file which I never would have predicted. It was a troubled marriage and not easy divorce.
I have not been able to bounce back and wished to talk to others who have gone through a divorce with someone they really wanted to work things out with when I remembered this site.
The biggest problem has been the loneliness - not aloneness. I have few problems with spending time alone or doing things on my own - so this is something different. I miss the companionship of daily routines, daily talking to someone, even sleeping with someone next to me. I no longer sleep in my bed. My routines aren't holding up - my sleep is all over the place - eating is erradic -and I just want to avoid the world and life in general!
Did anyone else feel this way and how long did it last before you were able to move forward? What did you do that helped?
