Talking about learning a lesson the hard way. Three days after my 1 year anniversary with my boyfriend he sent me a text message and broke up with me, it came out of now where and broke my heart. The mistake I made was 3 months ago I left my apartment in another town and moved into his town to be closer to him. Now, I don't have him, I don't know a soul and I have no idea what to do with myself. Its been 2 months since our breakup and I haven't left my apartment except to go to work and foodshopping. I'm 44 and live in Colchester & from what I've seen nothing happens in Colchester. All my friends are at work & they are all married. I just wish I had some friends out of work I could talk to & do things with. If I don't start making some changes this depression is really going to set in. I could really use some advice to get over him & some advice on what to do next. This is NOT where I saw myself being in my life at the age of 44 :( Thanks for listening........

First of all, you're ONLY 44 !!! Do not wallow on the past. I know it's easier said than done, BUT take this as an impetus to do something new. If you're unhappy in that town, leave! Move somewhere else. It's easier to be miserable in sunny Spain than in Colchester, if you get my meaning. Move back to your hometown or someplace where you'd really like to live. Start by looking for jobs in that area and get out if you don't like it. There is nothing worse for feeding a depression than to live in a place that is boring and stuffed with bad memories.
So far as the guy is concerned, good riddance to bad rubbish. Don't even think about him. Best revenge is to live well. I'm sure he's not wasting any time or thoughts on you, so why should you. Time to move on!
I lived in Colchester, Vermont for a while. Anyway, this is just for a laugh. The best way to get over an old one is to get under a new one! Best wishes.
Why not move back to your original town? Do you have friends there? Or move to a town where family is. You were lucky to find out what a loser this guy was now instead of later. You are in control of your future. Hope you make the best of it.
Sweetness,....you are indeed in trouble,....for NO MAN will EVER love you again,....unless they too are a NY Giants fan,....
Yeah, it sure does hurt,...but life will go on. Live life, smile, love yourself,....be positive,....and your Prince Charming may indeed one day show up (but seriously,....do not expect him to be wearing a NY Giants jersey! Then again,... )
Good luck with your search gorgeous,...I am sure you will survive this rough spot!

Your ex broke up with you via text message? What a cad.
Ok, 2 months have gone by and you are getting over the heartbreak. That's good! So now that you find yourself in Colchester, what do you do?
I confess I know little about life in Colchester, but here's a start:
I wish you luck rebuilding your heart and settling into your new home. I've been stranded in a new hometown myself, and I know it's a challenge. But Colchester, like life, is what you make of it. Chin up!
