Tsiehta Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 How are you dealing with it? We've been broken up since 5/31, NC most of that time. I've even started to casually date another woman. I am trying to move on, and for the most part, succeeding. What's tough is the loneliness. Those times when I know that I just don't have that special person to turn to when I need to talk, or share something that happened in my day. I know that takes time to create with a new person, and I always have my friends and family. But, those still aren't the same feeling. I just feel in a state of limbo, kind of waiting for that specialness to develop somewhere else. It's amazing how important someone can become to you. Link to post Share on other sites

JohnHesse Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 tsieta, i've been broken up with ex about the same as you. i remember having lonely days before the ex, and i'm having them again now. i guess its just reverting to not having a goto person that makes it seem more lonely after a break up. this seems perfectly normal to me if i think about it objectively, you won't feel the same affection and connectiness until you meet your next signifigant other. i don't think there is a perfect way to deal with it, outside of all the things people on this board expouse - keep yourself busy, try to find new friends, and eventually a new lover. It really sucks, but that's all part of the healing and growing process. you just can't let yourself get stuck focusing on it too much (and i say this when i do it all the time myself) hang in there, itll get better, i'm in the same situation as you, and i believe it will only get better once we give it some time.
