let's start out 2009. I lost my wife(separated)((over)) my job is tied to the auto industry and I am alone as all our friends are sticking by her. I did nothing but they all want to respect her feelings. What the heck am I supposed to do now. I move march 1 and am dreading being alone.javascript:emot('moping');

Well, I can tell you that it will be alot easier to attract and make new friends if you have a more positive attitude. Change can be hard, but there is always a reason, a good reason...embrace it and start looking at the bright side. Maybe reach out for some support and help to get through this transition. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign of strength. handshake

gives you a chance to get to know your self again. work on making real friends first. don't start looking for another relationship. you need to heal first.
I was pretty lost when i left my husband 2 years ago. can't say i like the single life....actually i hate it. But i don't have to fight anyone for the remote. can eat icecream for breakfast. go out and not have to report to anyone when i will be home. That part is kinda fun for awhile. But definitley try to make friends. male and female ones. they help big time

I agree with eyes (this woman has lots of insight, trust her observations)...'have a positive attitude'. Now look down at your feet. See anything? It is called square one, you are there. The next square over is called square two. Good luck in your journey there.

Welcome and glad to meet you.

Family is a good support for the rough and trying times.
Find what kind of sport or hobby or activity you might be interested in. Sign up for it. Get out once or twice a week.
Get online and chat with someone through the difficult times. you don't have to be interested in anyone, except to say Hey how would you like to chat. But don't sit in that couch after march 1, get out. Volunteer somewherewith an organization. That will lift your spirits to know you are helping out.teddybear I hope this helps, drop me a line sometime and let me know how you are doing.

the way i dealt with it when i became seperated and divorced from my ex, was to paste a great big smile on my face, look at the postive side of life, try not to let life's little difficulties get to me, and move on.
You know what: it really does work. It has been 3 and a half years for me, and i really like my life for the most part. Make new friends, and get a pet if you are able. Before you know it, you will have a new life, and be enjoying it. Hope i don't sound too facetious or anything, just sharing what worked for me.

Glad yer aboard derfman. I see from yer pic she let ya keep the TV and the exerciser. HeHe. Heck, yer only 37. Feel lucky that yer still young enough to do it again. Keep what you learned, throw out what you don't need in yer head, and move on. for me; I signed up and checked back occasionally. Nothing... Then someone suggested the forums. You may have to read a lot of profiles, vote on a lot of pics, write a lot of messeges to people, or express some personal opinions before anything happens but it's all fun and part of the process. You are now free to look at or talk to anyone you want.
Hey everybody; Lets have a coming out party for the derfman.
