Just joined and looking for like minded members
Watch this postHi everyone. I'm very grateful to be able to join you all. I have found myself alone this past year for the very first time when my husband left me.
I'm getting used to it now and don't miss him but it's a struggle finding new friends and even though none of us knows where life is going to take us, I like to think mine is going to be a happy, loving and maybe even exciting one from here on. Something I've craved for some years now. I like to think I have always taken the bull by the horns and tried everything life as thrown at me but truthfully, it's harder now, thinking of forging forward on my own.
It's not even that I don't have a family, friends, hobbies or interests, it's more a question of doing all those things and not having someone to share them with.
It does feel at times like your the only one going through it. Life is on hold and although it needs a kick start I don't seem to be able to make it happen.
There! I've made a start to the new me and hope I find some like minded people here. If you read my ramble, thank you.

I understand and can totally empathise. My partner left me too. He was what I thought was my soul mate. At this stage in life I’m not sure I can trust again or have the looks or confidence to even try again, especially still being in love with him. I’m not sure if it’s much consolation but do know that I’m out here in the same boat and you are not alone with those feelings. They can hurt and be heart wrenching but there are good things too.
