bing bing Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 I posted a thread a while ago about how I needed to end a relationship. It evetually ended in a way that I hoped. It was a mutual thing. She needed to get out of a very difficult work situation and could not find work in the Boston area and has decided to take a job in DC. We both really wanted different things out of life, acknowledged that and we more or less said our good-byes. Now what? I just need some advice on how to deal. This was a close to two year relationship. I knew that just weren't right together and that it should end. I now find myself with out one of my best friends. She was my travel buddy. Someone I would go for walks in the woods with. See movies with. Check out new restaurants with. She was the first one I'd call when I was sad and the first one I'd call when I was happy. I am definetly feeling the void. If any of you have been through this before please give me some pointers. Thanks
westernxer Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 Now you'll see whether or not you can handle being on your own. Some guys can do it, others cannot. If you can't, then you might consider joining a group or taking a night class, just so you can meet other people. It's tough when all your eggs were in one basket.
RecordProducer Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 Sooner or later you will find someone to replace her and fill-in the empty space in your life. I suggest you join some dating site to meet new people, not necessarily for romantic purposes.
midori Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 If you're in the Boston area, a friend of mine recently told me about Wednesday evening walks that are organized by the Appalachian Mountain Club. The hikes are part of the Young Members division of AMC Boston. The next one is Wed. July 20 on the Belmont Hospital Lands. Meet at the Waverly Commuter Rail Station at 6 pm. It's free. My friend tells me that everyone on these walks is very friendly and it's a great way to get a bit of exercise, see some new terrain, and chat with nice people. Getting out and doing things is probably the best way to make it through the difficult transition. As you make other connections (friends, activity partners, etc., not necessarily dates) you'll start to fill in the holes her departure has left.
