Just joined, saying hello

Hello, just introducing myself, my name is Alan, recently separated after 28 years, my two children still live at home with me, so not completely by myself yet, although the house feels very lonely when they are not there for a night or two, but I suppose the loneliness gets easier as time goes on. Looking forward to having a chat and hopefully make some new friends along the way. Thanks, Alan

Hi Alan and welcome. Yes, there are a few members, I believe, in the same situation as you. Myself included. But (at least I've found) it does get easier as time passes. Hopefully you'll find something in the forum to interest you.

Hi Goldfynche, thanks for the reply, I'm sure it will get easier, just need to keep busy and get on with life. All the best

its to early now the wounds are fresh but believe me when I say that later on you will find love again imagine butterflies in the tummy all those awesome feelings that we all crave so get out there as soon as you can and all the hurt in the moment will disappear. Good luck

Hi Alan,
I'm in a similar situation to you, but I have moved to Milton Keynes for a fresh start, still getting used to being on my own, but do have my children and grandchildren nearer now. Never thought I would have to start again at 60 but there it is, onwards and upwards so they say
