Emily_1234 Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Hi all. Everyone was so supportive and insightful on my last posting - and I'm just looking for that same feeling of support again. I'm not sure if I'll get sympathy - but I hope a kind ear. I recently left my husband (5 years of marriage, 7 years dating) and am moving into my own apartment this weekend. I've been living with a friend for the past month or so. I didn't leave my husband for someone else but a host of other reasons you can see on my first (and only other) thread. I'm a little excited about starting again, but also a little nervous. I haven't been alone for quite some years. I'm OK with that ... but a little afraid about that. I know things will be OK, there will be an adjustment period, etc. I don't even really know what I'm asking for with this thread ... maybe people to share similar circumstances and how things went. I know I'm doing the right thing for me. Just feeling a bit frightened ... Thanks.
Peter_pan Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 if you have never been alone, i recommend strongly that you spend at least a year on your own. trust me. then see where your head is at x
wisebutnotperfect Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 emily, the best advice i can give you is to be thankful for all of the good things that surround you each day and to move forward step by step. realize that the past is gone and with it all of your mistakes. today is all that we have, cherish it and all of the difficulties and good things that are heading toward you. good luck girl oh yeah, reading buddhism really helped me alot.. authors thich nhat hanh, pema chodron and outside of buddhism you should really read kahlil gibran
