...for single life. Give me your best advice. Go on. Don't be shy.

I need a drink. Or two.
 
I have no advice (been too long) to give you on being single Jewelz, just wanted to wish you good luck.
 
No advice from me either, but best wishes and hope everything works out for you! :rose: :kiss: :heart:
 
Single life has its good and bad points. The freedom can be good, but the empty bed at night sucks donkey balls. Other than that, enjoy it and don't rush to get back into anything else until you're fully healed from this.
 
Thanks Bk.

Freya, my bed is empty most nights now. The one things I am looking forward to is growing as a person. Making myself happy. This is so not easy.

It's a struggle, but you can do it. You're a fuck of a lot tougher than you give yourself credit for.
 
I agree with Freeya.. The freedom is awesome.. You don't have to answer to anyone. Little habits that you find ok are no longer picked at..

But the whole going to bed alone issue hurts.. It'll hurt to not be able to hold someone's hand on the street, or at home. At times it also feels like eveyone is in love but you..

But be strong, and enjoy the freedom and singleness you have for now. At times it doesn't seem like it, but being single does have it's strong points.
 
You can set up your webcam and post nude, vacuum in the nude, all kinds of cool things nude.

Christ S...you really think so?

Lion...I spose I am prepared on some levels because I haven't had a hand to hold for awhile now. And he joins me in bed whenever. The biggest thing I will struggle with is being a single mom. I love them more than my own life. Not going to be easy.

Strangely, the thought of being in a house with just me and my girls is appealing. I'm ready to finally "live".

Oh my fuck. That is such a nauseating thought. You haven't seen me nude. Bah!

You know I do. I've been telling you that for how long now?

Edited to add - shut the fuck up. You're gorgeous nude.
 
Jewelz, I saw this western today, I think a John Wayne movie? But anyways, It had this gorgeous chick in it that looks just like you. Her hair was wild (Like a mustang, he said, lol) and her attitude just kicked ass. Thought I'd share.

I'm a horrible single person, except when I'm drunk and at a wild party. If you happen to find yourself in this position just tell everyone you love them, this is a big crowd pleaser! :D

I think you'll be great on your own. You don't strike me as the kind of woman who'd put up with a lot of shit. Be strong, be wild, be You. Wait... is that a commercial slogan?
 
Wiggles! If only I were gorgeous. Thanks for the compliment though! And I have to get tougher to have a kick ass attitude. I need to be really pissed off for it to come out. Or really offended. lol

Thanks for the vote of confidence too. I am actually someone who does put up with alot of shit and am finally at my breaking point where I can't take it. Being the only one to give in a marriage is very unfulfilling.

Trademark your commercial slogan doll. :D
 
Oh, Sis!!!!

first of all, *big hugs*. . .it's been way too long.

I'll be the first to say that's it's not easy and the first couple of months seriously suck. Take care of yourself and the little ones first. Ignore everyone else because they are not the ones who have to live your life.

I thought I was OK when I left, but I'm just now feeling like I've healed and that I really am "OK". I've spent a lot of time being introspective and figuring out just who I am. Ya know what, I like me much better now!

There are no words of wisdom that will make it easier, just know that we are here. PM, email or call me - a friendly ear is always helpful.

:kiss: :kiss:
 
Sounds to me like you are already there, hon. You know your hubby will try to manipulate you into staying together, so you know when he starts in, for you to stay strong.

You are nearly there, girl. You know what you want. You don't need advice, but you do need a support group of people that you can count on to listen to you when you need to talk. That's the best advice anyone can give. It's what saved me when I was going through divorce this past year. Making sure that my friends and family were available to communicate with, who understood my position and where I needed to be, so when I needed them, they would be there to cheer me on, or hug me when I was down. Not all of my family was in agreement with what I was doing, but they stood by the decisions I made, and helped me anyway. You need people like that around you, especially in the beginning. Do not start to hide away, it's the worst thing you can do for yourself. Trust me on that.

Hugs and much love to you, tweetpea. I'm pulling for you!

promiscuity rocks!

And don't I know it!!

That's one of the benefits of being single Jewelz, and there are many more as well.

There are also some negatives, but it all comes down to 'adjustment'. I've been single for 14mths after being married for 30yrs. I can do it.. so can you.

Good luck my friend, I'll keep you in my prayers.
 
I'm pulling for you too :)

I know I told you we are going through a similar thing. When you figure it out, let me know how please!
 
Time and Patience

It works differently for different people. But, I know when I became single again, the biggest change was finding out who I had become as person, now that I was no longer half of a pair.

Some people jump right into the next relationship, or play the field recreationally. It can be intense and fun -- it is also a way to defer finding out who you are as a single person. Even if we don't think so at the time, on at least an unconscious level, we can bring our past relationship with us if we get into another relationship immediately -- one of the reasons "rebound" relationships can be both intense and troubled. I think the advice on staying close with friends was very good, but other than that, there is a case to be made for taking it slow and easy. In some ways you are being given the gift of a whole new life, even if that can be hard to see when in a lonely bed at night.
 
I had my rebound relationship, and I don't regret it, I needed it at the time.

Taking time for yourself though is necessary, I agree.
