new to this sinlges thing.

I often wondered, during the darker hours of my marrage, what it would be like to be single again. Well now i know,it's been a whole month without my wife living with us, only seeing her maybe once or twice a week and even then only for a fleeting moment. we have been getting on quite well becuase of these circumstances and if doesn't half mess with your head. i know why we're doing this, i know that in the long term it's the best thing for everyone concerned, but well lets just say i miss her a fair bit. memories of all of the trouble there has been over the last few years of our marrage are enough to bring me round from those thoughts, after a while.
A new life becons, new experiences and a whole new outlook on things. i am working on some short stories, i hope i can maybe find someone daft enough to publish them. if i can it'll be a much needed boost to my ego.
Anyway, watch this space for more inane ramblings....

I fully understand what your going through. My marriage ended 2 years ago and has taken me all that time to sort my emotions out. I kept thinking maybe it wasn't that bad, maybe we could try again. Then i remember his aragant attitude that keeps him in denile of what was really happening. Too many broken peices to try and fix, too much negativity to put on the kids.handshake
Yo bro, writing is a good release to the emotional suffering. I've been doing it for years... writing that is, emotional suffering is a case to case occurance.

As far as publishing your works. You would be surprised what you can accomplish with a printer, photoshop, your computer, and of course "making SURE you copyright your work" prior to distribution and just a few minor office supplies. Book binding is easy if you wish to do the whole thing yourself, and extremely cheap in comparison. Good time passer as well, and you achieve more by what you do than what you pay others to do I believe...not to mention the personal touch in all things you accomplish.
Also there are a load of good publishers on the net that will work out publishing offers if you negotiate. Never settle for less than fits your needs.

Well anyway, good luck, keep writing, hope all goes well in time.
Know exactly what you're going through. I'm watching mine crumble around me. It sure does mess with your head. Keep thinking " what if " " if only" but you cant look back only forward and make a better job of it next time. ( if there is a next time) wave
It's been about two months since I left what was our apartment for good and came back hom to live with my parents. Things still feel strange. I too often actually wished I were single again durring the marriage as things got worse and good sense just couldn't seem to apply itself. The real trouble, I think, is that marriage is a one-way trip. You simply can't go back to how things were. People who were part of that single life we idealise have moved on. We ourselves move on. I certainly am not the same person I was five years ago. I've had to contend with far too much stupidity, miscommunication, needless stress, etc. I'd very much appreciate finding new friends and perhaps even somebody more special than that but will never again be able to give quite as much trust and faith quite so quickly. I let my optimism and love sweep me away. On the positive side, I think you'll find that something done out of jenuine love and compassion is never a waste of one's humanity. I've grown in so many ways and have become even more insufferably deep-thinking than I could have if I hadn't taken the plunge. Best of luck rebuilding your new life.
