As some of you know I'm nearly finished with my ex wife. I left her after 10 years of a loveless, intimacyless (we slept in seperate rooms ffs!) and horrendous relationship in March last year. The divorce came through in January and the house is nearly sold which will sever all ties with her...

I have just got home after travelling back from Sheffield, and the first ever UK Meetup of A Lonely Life members...and I have to say I have had the best time ever. :D:D:D We met in the Peace Gardens (although as it was a hot day and there was a mini funfair and stalls it might has well have...

Hello ALLers Today is the 20th anniversary of when I suffered a near fatal brain haemorrhage. I literally went from being a normal 14 year old kid playing on his computer to almost dying on the kitchen floor, all in about four minutes. I had to learn to walk and talk again and pretty much...

FINALLY! We have a date and location for ALLFEST - the grand UK Meetup of A Lonely Life Members this summer! Would you like to meet some of your fellow lonely folk and have a day of fun and companionship? Well read on :) Please read the following details carefully. We will be meeting on...

Oh god I'm so proud of myself :D After my disasterous foray into Friend finding apps like Skout (trick you into thinking someone wants to be friends then charging the user to find out who) I used Meetup.com on a recommendation. Meetup.com is simply a site that advertises social events based on...

..to wonder what your ex partner is up to? Like every day? My wife and I were together for ten years when I left the home as I'd had enough of her cheating and abusive behaviour. Although I severed all contact with her (bar email for solicitor messages), deleted my old Facebook account &...

Hi all I was in the Google Play store and noticed that there were a lot of Apps dedicated to finding new friends. The basic premise is that you install the App, specify the sort of people you want to meet, then it uses location finding services to find others in the same boat, giving you an...

So since my marriage ended and I've found myself living alone (I'm MUCH happier btw) so I've tried to keep myself busy, though all the activities I've chosen are things that can be done alone (no, not that! I'm talking about photography and travelling :p ) In fact last week I ticked off a...

Would you go dancing alone? I do - all the time. I love electronic music (house, trance, garage etc) but I don't have anyone to go with, so rather than miss out, I go on my own but a man dancing on his own really stands out in a club. I go to gay clubs where I find people a lot more accepting...

Hi everyone I noticed that the current UK meetup thread was actually started in 2013 which didn't bode well for an actual meetup! But we're keen for this to actually happen so I thought a new thread was in order. ALLFEST 2015! Here's the plan - if you would like to meet fellow ALLers in a...

I've been looking into it and it looks like the sort of thing I'd enjoy doing. I just wondered if anyone else does it, and if so who do you dress as and do you have any tips, do's and don'ts etc?

Hi ALLers I've been in a bit of turmoil this weekend - my best friend was almost killed in a road accident. She's fine though, just bad leg injuries that will heal over time - she's more bothered about her car! I remember finding out via Facebook - the accident had happened a day before but...

My favourite fantasy author died today :( If you're not familiar with his work, please give them a try, they are brilliant books and he was a top bloke by all accounts.

Hi Lonelyers This has been bothering me for a while and it's starting to wreck my head. I've been married for 7 years, but last year I discovered that my wife had been arranging to meet a man for some sort of sexual encounter. It never got that far, mainly because I found out and told her I...

Hi all I have a rather extensive Xbox 360 gaming library but I am stuck playing the multiplayer of Call of Duty Black Ops! No matter how many times I try something new I always get sucked back in. I know it's brainless dross but it's just so **** enjoyable! Have you ever got so addicted to a...

around me are: My laptop Mobile Phone Xbox 360 controller A packet of tissues that look like £50 notes (sadly not legal tender) A Horrible Histories book (it's for kids but I love HH) What items are near you? The items must be within reach without you moving.

I love playing around with Adobe Photoshop and here's me as a Cyborg. It's far from perfect but I love playing around with the tools and effects.

I've been posting on here for several days now and one thing that has struck me is the amount of people who say they have literally nobody in their lives, no family, no friends, nothing. It got me thinking, do I belong here? After all I am married to a beautiful girl (something it seems that...

No, not http://www.cadbury.co.uk but http://thenicestplaceontheinter.net/ In case you fancy having a hug from a complete stranger to a nice tune :)

A couple of years ago my work arranged for me to have some CBT+mindfullness training because I was getting all muddled up at work (I've had a brain haemorrhage so struggle when things get hectic) and the therapist gave me a little exercise to try whenever I feel alone and that I don't matter to...
