Hey, you’re not alone!!! Well as you can see!!! I think a lot of us are or have been in this situation. Our love keeps us an unwilling hostage. I’m going through the empty lonely stage but I think at last I’m free. Maybe like you I just don’t know how I feel now, angry, sad or still in love? All I know is I don’t want to go back anymore!!! Welcome exes anonymous where we try and kick bad relationships!!! It hurts but hey its healthier.

Hey there HikerGal, I’m sorry you’re hurting and still hurting more!!! Is that in store for me?? I’m also in my 40’s and split with my partner of 3 years a month ago. It’s horrible isn’t it, it’s just a huge roller coaster of emotion! I want to get off. I thought I’d just tough it out and straight away start dating again. It didn’t work, my heart just wasn’t in it. How are you feeling now? Does he still have your heart? You just have to be honest with yourself. The lonely Ness is the killer though!! I have friends but they just don’t fill the void of a lover. If you ever want to talk or if you feel lonely please feel free to talk. I know I could do with someone to talk to who understands. Take care, you’re not alone out there.

Hey Milena,

Yep, going through it now!!! But hey we’re only human and what you did seems to me to be natural. I’ve tried to be strong but I just keep going backwards and just prelonging the pain; and then like you, my anxiety rises and I feel worthless. I wish I had answers but hey, you’re not alone : )
