So this is a process of finding ourselves again. The things you used to be interested are a good start. But why not try new things as well? You might find you like a few of those things too.

I've discovered how much I like the company of other people, how interested I am in what they have to say and share with me. I've become a very sociable person over the past few months because of that and I don't really feel lonely now.

I wasn't really very sociable when I met my H, and throughout our relationship either. I was much more of an introvert, quite private and much more shy too. And I think now that my H actually carried most social interactions (he did enjoy that though, he was a total extrovert). Anyway, I'm actually really enjoying meeting new people now, and making deeper connections with some of the people I already knew a little.

I know there are going to be more interests for me to try and foster.

But this whole process takes time. It takes time and patience to try things, try new things and to find yourself. And time is the thing that you must give it for the process to flow, settle and deepen. You, as a human being, deserve that.

Hope that helps.


Isn't it funny that it feels like time is running out. Like if I don't do something now, all hope will be lost. She will fall into another man's arms they will get married and all will be lost.


Nate, the M was over on bomb drop day... Time is your friend cause you can still have her in your life while you prepare yourself to move on with or without her... Me personally, if she didn't work, I would cancel the cell phone... If that's her life line, I would snip it, unfortunately for me, my W makes about what I make (just a little more actually), so I just kept everything as normal, but if she didn't work, I woulda cut out all support.

Take some time and just worry about you, she's only worried about her and your chasing her, turn the tables around.
