Hello all.
So, where to begin...?
Well, I split with my ex (not married, but an LTR that was as good as) about seven months ago. I liked the freedom at first - dating, more time to do stuff, that sort of thing. In fact, I thought I was dealing with it pretty well. But just recently ... I dunno. Suddenly getting the sense that I'm going to be lonely for a long time. Maybe it's just a passing thing; maybe I'm just going through a bad patch. But it's begun to eat away at me, and I really don't know what to do.
Strangely enough, it's not like my life is empty. I have friends - though they're more acquaintances really. I have a social life, all those things. I do not miss my ex at all, though I do miss being with someone.
The most startling thing about this loneliness business it that it is a catch-22 situation: I have a real need to talk with someone about this - but there's just no-one to talk to.
So I'm here in these boards in the hope that ... well, by discussing things, it might make things a bit better. And I hope that I can help make things a bit better for some others too.
See you around, anyway...
