Where do I go from here?

[sandi2]

I have not been where you are in your life, but based on the experiences of other people, it is very important that you GAL. You seem to be reaching out a bit more to others now, but maybe you should challenge yourself a little more. In other words, step out of your comfort zone just a bit.

I have a feeling you and your W were such good friends in your M that you did not see the need to make other friends, especially if they were not a couple. It happens to a lot of couples and then when they are no longer a "couple" it feels really weird trying to find where you belong.

Reading your threads, I see a man who seems to rather be home than anywhere else, and there's certainly nothing wrong there, but maybe set yourself a goal to go somewhere at least once a week. I don't mean a "trip", but just someplace that puts you among people. Nobody enjoys alone time better than I do, but at this particular time in your life....you need people and you may have to push yourself to get out there where they are.

I am glad you found a new friend who enjoys doing things with you. I hope you don't talk to her about your XW, too much. (You didn't think I knew, did ya? )
