How long will this last for? It is very difficult to think about ANY future (with or without her) in this state.


Indefinitely. Some WAS's can live in limbo forever. Hardly any LBS's can though. At some point you'll get fed up with limbo and take action. It might be tomorrow, it might be 6 months from now. But the bottom line is you shouldn't live with the status quo hoping she changes, because she won't. Not as long as you maintain the status quo.

I would appreciate if anyone has experienced this and the best way to handle it. I'm just frustrated and lonely.


Well of course you are, but you CAN do something about it, and you can do it WITHOUT her. Your loneliness isn't because of her, it's because of you. Get out, GAL, chew your loneliness up and spit the pieces out and kick them. Find GAL activities that involve other people. I've recommended Crossfit here a lot, because not only will it get you in killer shape and help you to realize you are capable of things you never thought possible, but it is a very strong social environment. When you grunt and sweat and hurt and damned near cry with the same people several times a week it develops a bond like no other. You will find yourself with a bunch of new friends even if you don't really try. And most boxes have activities outside of working out so you can socialize there too. But regardless of what you choose, choose things that expose you to other people. A lot of us became so beta in our M's that we've separated ourselves from all our guy friends. Time to right that wrong. Men NEED other men in their lives. It helps us stay centered and reminds us of how men act and think and live and behave outside the M. I needed it after BD and it took me months to get that back but man, once I did I realized I could be perfectly happy by myself, that I didn't need someone for ANYTHING, and that I needed to be a force to be reckoned with because so many people in my life aren't and need to see what that looks like. So get out there and be the rock, get your man-card back grin
